Work History
Staked as Bev cl (Y95257) in Aug/74 by a joint venture between Norcen Energy Res L (Great Plains) & Kerr Addison ML, which conducted geochemical sampling and mapping in 1975.
Capsule Geology
The regional geology consists of Middle to Upper Proterozoic clastic and carbonate rocks unconformably overlying Early Proterozoic Wernecke Supergroup rocks occurring to the west and south.
The claims cover a zinc geochemical anomaly underlain by thin bedded Late Proterozoic limestone of the Little Dal Group, in fault contact with Late Proterozoic Rapitan Formation diamictite. Minor coarse grained yellow sphalerite and galena occur with marcasite in black, fine-grained limestone adjacent to a northwest trending fault. The zinc anomaly corresponds to a change in lithology from grey microcrystalline to yellow-weathering limestone.
