Capsule

Work History

Staked as Aida & Daisy cl (78342) in May/57 following an aeromag survey by a joint venture between Asbestos Corp and Yukon Cons Gold Corp L, which performed mapping and a mag survey later in the year. Restaked by the joint venture as part of the Foxy cl (79128) in Aug/62 and as Add cl (79417) in Sep/63.
Restaked as Jay cl (87491) in Jun/66 by C. Burrows for Voels Int Dev L, which bulldozer trenched in 1967; and as Sun cl (Y65542) in Jul/72 by L. Peeves.

The JA claims were staked in 2014 by D. Ruman who performed prospecting, rock sampling and additional staking in 2016 and 2020.

Capsule Geology

A chrysotile showing is exposed in trenches along the brow of a hill. It occurs at the west end of an aeromagnetic anomaly and may be part of the same ultramafic body explored on the Foxy showing to the east. The fibre zone in the trenches is a contact-type with fibre lengths up to 1 cm. Grade is visually estimated at about 2% and the showing itself has little potential. It occurs in blocky and massive to highly sheared serpentinite within Nasina Series schist.
