General Information
Secondary Commodities: zinc
Deposit Type(s): Sediment hosted Sedimentary Exhalative Zn-Pb-Ag (Sedex)
Location(s): 64.875560 N, -137.893060 W
NTS Mapsheet(s): 116A13

Capsule
Work History
Staked as LEP cl (YA6489) in Aug/76 by the Blackstone Project (Union Miniere and Shell Can L) which explored with mapping in 1976 and 1977.
Restaked as LL cl 1-172 (YB98672) by Blackstone Resources Inc in Oct/97.
Capsule Geology
The claims were staked on zinc geochemical anomalies underlain by Devono-Mississippian black shale. The zinc response was found to be caused by minor, but ubiquitous, hydrozincite coatings on the shale.
