Work History
Staked as Flatasa cl 1-40 (YA42115) in Aug/80 by Argent Project (Rio Alto EL, Radex Res L, ABM Mining Group Inc, Ebony Res L & Welcome North), which performed soil sampling later in the year. In July/83, Dawson Eldorado Gold EL acquired control of the property and added Rogue cl (YA77192), which were explored with mapping and sampling in 1984.
Restaked in Aug/92 as Aho 1-72 cl (YB28869) by Kennecott Canada Inc.
Capsule Geology
The Flatasa claims were staked on silver and lead silt anomalies draining Mississippian-Devonian sedimentary rocks near small granite stocks and sills. The soil survey outlined and area 700 by 500 metres that is weakly anomalous in silver.
