Capsule

Work History

Staked as Diz cl (YA2928) in Oct/75 by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Ltd., which carried out mapping and geochem sampling in 1975-76.
In Jun/96, High Sense Geophysics Ltd. under contract to Equity Engineering Limited and flew a regional, helicopter borne, magnetic and radiometric survey over most of the Coal Creek Inlier, but no new claims were staked.

Capsule Geology

The claims are underlain by Middle to Upper Proterozoic Pinguicula/Fifteen Mile assemblage and were staked on geochemical anomalies. The regional airborne geophysical survey outlined numerous northeast trending features which were interpeted to be faults.
