Work History

Staked as Elsa cl (Y22659) in Feb/68 by Fort Steel ML, which explored with minor hand trenching and sampling later in the year. The adjacent ground to the southeast was staked as Ace cl (Y41933) in Jan/70 by Welland Cons Mg L, and restaked as Ace cl (Y71617) in Mar/73 by Dual Res L; and as ELC cl (Y74877) in June-Jul/74 by Denu M AND Dev L and Tandem Res L. 
The Elsa group was restaked as Mar cl (Y64411) in Mar/72 by Dusty Mac ML, which performed mapping and sampling. In Sep/72, the property was optioned to Pan Ocean OL, which added the Wo cl (Y70244) to the south and carried out geochem sampling and mapping in 1973. Restaked as Schee cl (YA27483) in Oct/77 by Cantung and transferred to Turner-Hindmarsh Tungsten L later in the year. The company changed its name to Tungco Res Corp in 1978 and added Inn cl (YA35899) to the south in Feb/79 and transferred the group to Majestic Mg Corp L, which performed trenching later in the year. 
The Schee cl were transferred to J.C. Turner in Jul/81 while a 10% interest in the Inn cl was transferred by Majestic to Vancliffe Res Corp in Jun/81. Restaked in 1995 as the BS 1-10 (YB78431) cls by the Finlayson Joint Venture (FJV) who conducted prospecting and rock soil and silt geochemistry in 1996. The company also staked the DH cl 1-24 (YB78534) 3 km to the north in Mar/96.

Capsule Geology

Lead-zinc mineralization occurs as fracture fillings, patches and massive pods in skarn zones developed in Devono-Mississippian limestone. Grab samples assayed as follows: 
WEST SHOWING EAST SHOWING 
(A) (B) (A) (B) 
Ag (g/t) 154.3 20.6 30.9 161.1 
Pb (%) 16.7 2.0 3.2 23.6 
Zn (%) 12.0 1.3 1.6 16.6 
Cu (%) ---- ---- 0.02 ---- 

A narrow (1m) shear zone in limestone contained minor sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. A selected grab sample assayed 2.3% Pb, 1.25% Zn and 41.3 ppm Ag.
