Secondary Commodities: copper
Deposit Type(s): Unknown
Location(s): 61.319720 N, -137.038610 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 115H06
Location Comments: .5 Kilometres

Capsule
Work History
Staked as Dericon cl (YlO245) in Aug/66 by Empress ML (Atlas EL and Nippon Mg L) following a regional exploration program, and explored by soil sampling and mapping.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by metasedimentary rocks of the Nisling Terrane. Soil samples taken from a gossan returned anomalous copper values, but no significant mineralization was found.
