Capsule
Work History
Staked as ABW cl (Yl5l72) in Jun/67 by W. Kaufman and B. Fitch following reconnaissance prospecting and soil sampling and optioned to Cons. Skeena ML, which conducted a geochemical survey later in the year. Restaked as FM cl (Y65648) in Sep/72 by Cream Silver ML.
Capsule Geology
Claims are underlain by Paleozoic? metasedimentary rocks in an area that was prospected in the hope that an aeromagnetic low might represent a limestone lens similar to the host rock at the Silver City showing. Anomalous assays obtained by the stakers could not be duplicated, and no mineralization was found.
