Work History
Investigated by J.D. Curry in Oct/65 for Dynasty EL and by Archer, Cathro during 1966 and 1967 for Anvil Mg Corp L, which staked the Bobcat 1-4 quarry leases in Jun/66 and Jul/67. Anvil drilled 3 holes (88 m) in Aug/67.
A large block of Canyon cl (YA92110) was tied on to the northwest and the southeast in Jan/84 by a joint venture between Noranda, Brenda ML and Golden Nevada Res Inc as part of a staking rush around the Grew occurrence. The Canyon claims were transferred to A. Carlos in Feb/92. In Feb/93 Carlos optioned his Grew Creek claim holdings to YGC Resources Ltd.
YGC carried out a large exploration program in 1993 which included diamond drilling, line cutting, soil sampling, geophysics and trenching throughout the Grew Greek property. In 1994 YGC drilled 14 holes (1307 m) in the South and Main Zones located approximately 18 km to the southeast.
Capsule Geology
The quarry leases cover a large outcrop of Permo-Pennsylvanian limestone of the Anvil Allochthon that was investigated as a potential source of smelter flux. The 1987 claims were staked along a poorly exposed area which is potentially underlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks.
