Work History
Staked as Rand cl (Y99336) in Jul/75 by DC Synd (Dome and Cominco), which conducted mapping and geochem sampling later in the year. Restaked as MUT cl (YA51402) in Sep/80 by J.C. Stephen EL.
Capsule Geology
The claims were staked on a small silicified zone in hornblende-biotite orthogneiss of probable Devono-Mississippian age. The orthogneiss has a granodiorite composition and contains sills and lenses of aplite, and layers of amphibolite. No mineralization was found.
