Work History

Staked as Spork cl 1-6 (YA54995) and cl 7-24 (YA55376) in Jun/80 by the CUB Joint Venture (Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd, Highland-Crow Resources Ltd and Union Carbide Canada Ltd) which performed limited mapping, geochem, EM and mag surveys in 1980 and 1981.

Capsule Geology

The claims cover a buried contact between a Cretaceous stock and Cambrian to Ordovician Otter Creek Formation limestones and Rabbitkettle Formation quartzite, phyllite, dolomite and minor limestone. No mineralization has been found and the contact between intrusive and sedimentary rocks may be faulted.
