Work History
A block of 40 claims (Valerie, etc. (7738)) was staked here by H.F. Waugh et al. in Sep/07.
Capsule Geology
The claims were staked around a narrow gorge in which sandstone of the Paleocene or Late Cretaceous Bonnet Plume Formation lies unconformably on gently dipping argillite of the Ordovician to Lower Devonian Road River Formation. Pyrite occurs in the argillite as disseminated grains and in veins. Coal has been noted nearby in the sandstone. The prospectors were searching for precious metals but nothing was found.
