Work History
 
Staked as part of a large block of DU claims (1-239, YA28903) between June and Jul/78 by the Klinkit Joint Venture (DuPont of Canada Exploration Limited & Duval International Corporation). The DC Syndicate (Dome Mines Limited & Cominco Limited) tied on Zinc cl 1-16 (YA33021) to the west in Jun/78. The Zinc claims were staked to cover an area where silt sampling in 1976 had indicated anomalous tin values in three small creeks. In 1978, the property was explored with geological mapping and geochemical sampling. Soil sampling to the south took place in 1979. In 1981, a ground magnetic survey and soil and rock sampling occurred. The DuPont interest was transferred to CSA Minerals Inc in 1984 and to Goldsearch Inc in 1985. In 2006, the Seagull claims were staked over the occurrence. In 2012, widespread rock sampling across the Seagull Batholith took place, although none were taken at the occurrence. In 2014, an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey covered almost the entire Seagull Batholith. In 2018, the area was restaked as the JC 1-101 claims and an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was flown over the property.
  
Capsule Geology
 
This occurrence lies within a belt of Yukon-Tanana Terrane rocks. This belt of rocks is part of an accreted island arc assemblage consisting of biomodal volcanics, coeval plutons and sedimentary rocks, as well as younger Jurassic intrusive rocks and overlap assemblages and Cretaceous intrusions. The occurrence is hosted in mid-Cretaceous Seagull Batholith quartz monzonite.
 
The occurrence is based on a cluster of tin-in-soil anomalies ranging up to 185 ppm Sn from sampling in 1978 and 1981.
