Capsule
Work History
Staked as the Terra cl (Y44589) by R. McKamey for Samson ML and Monarch ML in Nov/69, which explored by reconnaissance prospecting and soil sampling in 1970.
Capsule Geology
Claims were staked in an area underlain by mafic tuff which forms part of the Carmacks Volcanics (Upper Cretaceous, 70-84 Ma). Geochemical sampling by McKamey prior to 1969 returned anomalous values. Sampling in 1970 failed to verify the earlier results.
