Work History
Staked as Al cl (YA82182) in Jun/84 by Kerr Addison ML, which performed mapping and geochem sampling later in the year.
Capsule Geology
Gold-bearing quartz veinlets are developed in silicified zones in brecciated schist and gneiss, overlain by Lower Cretaceous Mt Nansen volcanics. The zones are up to 25 m by 100 m and returned geochemical values up to 390 ppb Au, 5 ppm Ag, 13.8 ppm Sb and 500 ppm As. A specimen of silicified quartz schist assayed 2.5 g/t Au.
