Work History
Staked as Dom cl 1-207 (YA80272) in Jun/84 by a joint venture between United Keno Hill Mines Ltd and Falconbridge Ltd, which drilled a fence of nine percussion holes (551.7 m) later in the year.
Restaked within Sur cl 1-625 (YB81782) in Jun/96 by Barramundi Gold Ltd which carried out a large regional geological mapping, rock and silt sampling program later in the year.
In Jun/2000 KSL Exploration (Yukon) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Klondike Source Ltd; a public company registered in Australia, staked KSL cl 1-59 (YC20057) 2.5 km to the northeast. In Aug/2000 KSL added KSL cl 75-108 (YC20406) to their claim holdings. The company collected nine lines of soil samples across the entire claim block in Sep/2000. All of the soil samples were analyzed using Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemistry.
Capsule Geology
The area is underlain by muscovite and chloritic quartzite, quartz-muscovite-chlorite schist and rusty weathering quartz-muscovite schist of the Permian Klondike Schist Assemblage (units Pks and Psqm). The Dom claim block covered the entire gravel-filled valley of Dominion Creek. None of the percussion drill holes encountered anomalous values.
Silt sampling carried out by Barramundi return a strong tin anomaly upstream from the occurrence site. The survey also returned a strong mercury and moderate arsenic anomaly from Kelly Pup located approximately 1 km to the southeast.
Soil sampling by KSL Exploration outlined weak to moderate gold response (up to 10 ppb gold) on parts of the KSL claim block, which the company attributed more to the contrast inherent in Mobile Metal Ion geochemistry than in the presence of any actual mineralization.
