Work History
Staked by J.R. Sinclair in Aug/09 as Eldorado and Beaver cl (10204), which were trenched in 1910, surveyed in 1913 and taken to lease in 1916 by North American Trading & Transportation CL.
Restaked in Apr/68 by Pacific Giant Steel Ores L as BA cl (Yl2495), which were optioned to Canyon City EL in Jun/68. Restaked as Rip cl (Y53977) in Aug/70 by A. Mullin, et al.
Capsule Geology
North trending quartz veins are found in pyritic andesitic volcanic rocks that are cut by numerous wide shear zones. The quartz veins are lensoid and rarely exceed 3.7 m in width. Low gold assays associated with disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite are occasionally obtained from the quartz.
