Work History

Staked as Sul cl (YA80128) in June, 1984 by a joint venture between United Keno Hill Mines Ltd. and Falconbridge Ltd., which explored with a fence of percussion holes (533.4 m) in 1984, geochemical sampling in 1985, and trenching and sampling in 1986.

Re-staked within a large block of Sur claims by Barramundi Gold Ltd in June, 1996.

In 2010, Taku Gold Corp. flew an airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over the Sulphur property.

Capsule Geology

The claims are underlain by Klondike Schist (Permian). The drilling returned negative results.
