Work History
Probably first staked about 1903 although the records have not been found. Acquired in Apr/70 as part of Coal Exploration Licence No. 11 by Arjay Kirker Resources Ltd and optioned to Teslin Exploration Ltd, which carried out prospecting and hand trenching in 1972, and staked a coal lease (2961) in Dec/73. The lease was transferred to Braeburn Coal Ltd in May/76.
In Apr/88, All-North Resources Ltd aquired Coal Exploration Licences #416 and #417 covering the area, but no work is recorded for this occurrence.
In Nov/92, Cash Resources Ltd acquired coal exploration and coal mining rights in the area under various Licenses (#479, #480, #486 and #487) and Leases (#3000-3004). Cash carried out hand trenching downslope of the occurrence in 1993 and 1997.
Capsule Geology
A west-dipping coal seam in the Tanglefoot Formation of the Upper Jurassic Laberge Group is poorly exposed in a gully at the base of Red Ridge. The seam occurs about 244 m stratigraphically below the base of the Lower Cretaceous Tantalus Formation conglomerate and has a probable aggregate true width of between 12 to 15 m.
