Work History

Staked as Amie & John cl (YB2874) in Oct/88 by H. Lunny, who hand trenched and dug a shallow shaft in 1989. Restaked in Sep/91 as part of a large block of 322 Hig cl (YB19364) by H6000 Holdings Ltd which performed a reconnaissance geochemical survey in 1992.

Capsule Geology

The claims are underlain by a granite to quartz monzonite stock (Minto Stock), which intrudes schist and quartzite of the Late Proterozoic-Early Cambrian Hyland Group. Soil sampling in 1992 returned values up to 225 ppb Au.
