Work History
Staked as Wad cl (YA59751) in Apr/81 following an airborne mag and EM survey by Anaconda Can El, which performed line cutting in 1981 and Maxmin EM, mag and gravity surveys in 1982.
Capsule Geology
Bedded barite occurs in a sequence of Devono-Mississippian Earn Group chert and black shale intruded by both mid-Tertiary and Cretaceous plutons. The 1982 geophysical surveys located two EM conductors that coincide with weak magnetic and gravity highs.
