Work History
Staked as Eye cl (97476) in Jan/66 by Flagstone ML, which performed geochem and mag surveys. Trenching was also done on the adjacent Pat group, owned by B. Nesbitt.
Restaked as part of a large block of Canyon cl (YA81160) in Jan/84 by Hudson Bay Mg, which performed reconnaissance mapping and geochem sampling in 1984 and 1985.
Restaked as Ran cl (YB8978) in Nov/87 by Prime Capital Corp and optioned to Hemlo EL. J. Murnion tied on FUD cl (YB8083) to the south in Sep/87 and performed trenching and sampling in 1988 and 1989.
The Canyon and Ran cl were transferred to A. Carlos in Feb/92. In Feb/93 Carlos optioned the property to YGC Resources Ltd, which carried out a large exploration program in 1993, including diamond drilling, line cutting, soil sampling, geophysics and trenching throughout the Grew Creek property. In 1994 YGC drilled 14 holes (1307 m) in the South and Main Zones located approximately 28 km to the southeast.
Capsule Geology
Claims are underlain by Permo-Pennsylvanian chert, limestone and basalt (Anvil Allochthon) between the Grew Creek and Buttle Creek Faults.
