Work History
Staked as The cl 17-48 (Y15945) in Jun/69 by Klondike Exploration Ltd, which bulldozer trenched in 1969-71. The property was transferred in 1972 to E. Faucher, L. Grimard & J. Trottier, who trenched in 1973, 1976 and 1980 and enlarged the property in 1979.
Restaked as Aime cl 1-32 (YA87694) in Aug/84 by M. Grimrad who performed trenching in 1986 and mapping and geochem sampling in 1987.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by Nasina Assemblage schist and amphibolite (units DMs and DMasc) and have been explored for gold and silver veins.
