Work History
Old hand trenches are present but the staking details have been lost. This work probably dates from the period 1900-1912. Luscar L examined this target in 1969 while it held the surrounding area as Coal Exploration Licence 4. Restaked as Coal Exploration Licence 301 in Jun/81 by Whitehorse Coal Corp (Echo Developers L), which performed road building and trenching in 1982 and 1983.
Capsule Geology
Patches of coal bloom were noted but the seam was not located. It apparently occurs in the Jurassic-Cretaceous Tantalus Formation.
