Capsule

Work History

Staked as Blue Sky (YB17214) in Jun/88 by Auger Mg, which transferred a 50% interest in Apr/89 to D. Smith. The nearby Sky 1-8 cl (YB45634) were staked by C. Little in Oct/93. 
Restaked within a large block of Bar claims by Barrimundi Gold Ltd in Apr/96. In Mar/99 Barramundi completed 3 850 line km of detailed airborne magnetometer and VLF-EM surveying that covered a 16 x 24 km area centered about King Solomon Dome and included this occurrence.

Capsule Geology

The claims are underlain by the Permian Klondike Schist Assemblage. Chlorite schist (unit Psc), is in contact to the southwest with strongly foliated quartz and feldspar augen-bearing quartz muscovite schist (unit Psa, felsic metaporphyry).
