Work History
Explored by Empress ML (Atlas EL and Nippon Mg L) in 1966. Staked as the ED cl (Y41350) in Dec/69 by E. Chisholm and transferred to Lion ML, which explored by geochemical sampling and geological mapping in 1970.
Restaked as Bun cl (YA4518) in May/76 by Ukon JV (Chevron and Kerr Addison), which explored with soil sampling and radiometric surveys in 1976 and 7 Winkie holes (116.7 m) in 1977.
Capsule Geology
Minor amounts of pyrite, molybdenite and galena occur in narrow quartz veins associated with a 0.8 km long gossan developed in a weakly fractured granodiorite intrusion. The 1970 surveys outlined four weak copper anomalies, one partially over the gossan and the others associated with pyritic zones in the granodiorite.
The 1976 staking was directed toward a radioactive zone in a regolith which formed at the contact between the granodiorite and overlying Eocene volcanic flows. The gossaned granodiorite returned uranium values in the 5 to 20 ppm range.
