Work History
Staked as Bernie cl (YA4714) in Aug/79 by B. Clement, who carried out hand trenching in 1980. B. Ritter added Mary cl (YA55683) to the west in Jul/81 and D. Trudeau staked Hail cl 1-26 (YB52339) 2 km northeast of the occurrence in Jul/94.
Capsule Geology
The claims, which are underlain by post-glacial stream deposits and micaceous quartzite and schist of the Late Proterozoic to Early Cambrian Hyland Group, follow Clear Creek and may have been staked to protect surface and subsurface rights in conjunction with placer mining.
