Work History
Staked as Toot cl (YA74681) in Jun/82 by a joint venture between United Keno Hill ML and Falconbridge to cover a series of Dighem II airborne geophysical anomalies located in 1981. Explored by mapping and grid soil sampling in 1982.
Capsule Geology
Mineralization consists of malachite in zones of northwest-trending biotite-rich schlieren cutting Triassic hornblende granodiorite. The best zone is 50 m wide and 250 m long and coincides with a 7000 m long airphoto lineament.
