Work History
Staked as Rags cl (YA75053) in Sep/82 by Agip Can L, which performed limited mapping and geochem sampling in 1983.
Capsule Geology
Fault zones cutting dacite and volcanic breccia contain zeolite- calcite-quartz-gypsum veining and associated bleaching and hematization. Host rocks have been assigned to the mid-Cretaceous South Fork volcanics.
Exploration was directed toward precious metals but samples returned only trace amounts of gold and silver.
