Capsule

Work History

Staked as Did cl (YA2918) 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 by Equity Engineering Limited and flew a regional, helicopter borne, magnetic and radiometric survey over most of the Coal Creek Inlier, but no claims were staked.

Capsule Geology

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