Capsule

Work History

Staked as the CC cl (Y90723) in Sep/74 by Amoco Can Pet CL, which conducted mapping, geochem sampling and an IP survey in 1975 and drilled 4 holes (597.7 m) in 1976.

Capsule Geology

Drilling tested two IP anomalies and two soil anomalies and encountered grades of less than 0.02% Cu and 0.005% MoS2 in coarse grained hornblende granodiorite of Triassic age and sericitized alaskite which are probably Tertiary in age. Mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite blebs in quartz veins.
