Work History
Staked as Dericon cl (YlO245) in Aug/66 by Empress ML (Atlas EL and Nippon Mg L) following a regional exploration program, and explored by soil sampling and mapping.
Capsule Geology
The claims are underlain by metasedimentary rocks of the Nisling Terrane. Soil samples taken from a gossan returned anomalous copper values, but no significant mineralization was found.
