Work History
Staked as Mexico etc cl (65248) in Apr/53 by G. Scott during the staking rush around the Canalask deposit. Transferred in Jul/54 to Callinan Flin Flon ML. Adjoining claims consisted of Otter and Lucky cl (64939) to the northwest, staked in Apr/53 by Waddington Mg Corp L, and Antler cl (66013), staked in Jun/53 by Selco EL.
Restaked as Mag cl (Y20589) in Jul/67 by R. Hoey and later as KK cl(Y53468) in Jun/70 by Imperial OL, Bow Valley Ind. L and Can. Ind. G & OL.
Capsule Geology
Claims are underlain by Permo-Pennsylvanian volcanic and sedimentary rocks near a major thrust fault. Chalcopyrite occurs in narrow stringers of massive magnetite in local skarn zones.
