Work History
Discovered by prospectors working for Yukon Cons Gold Corp in 1958. Staked as Trix cl (YA31499) by Mattagami Lake ML in Aug/78 and transferred to Numatt ML and Noranda in 1979.
Restaked as Moondance cl (YA90188) in Sep/87 by K. Hudson.
Capsule Geology
The claims cover skarn developed in a large raft of Permian limestone, which is surrounded by syenite of the Cretaceous Tombstone Batholith. Uraninite occurs with minor fluorite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena and molybdenite filling veinlets in the skarn.
