Work History
Staked as BUH cl (Y97764) in Jul/75 by a joint venture between Great Plains Dev CL & Kerr Addison ML, which carried out mapping and geochemical and geophysical surveys later in the year. Great Plains changed its name to Norcen Energy Res L in 1976.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by Late Proterozoic dolomite and clastic rocks. Galena and sphalerite are found as vug and fracture fillings in the dolomite. The best assay returned 8.6% Zn, 2.8% Pb, and 300 ppm Cd across 1.5 m.
