Work History
Staked as coal lease 4096 in Jan/02 by H.E. Porter. Restaked as Losch cl (73811) in Sep/58 by D. Jennings and A. Roy, who drove a 4.6 m tunnel in 1959. The target was acquired in Jan/76 as part of Coal Exploration Licence 36 by Resoursex L, and was leased in Feb/81 by Fargo O Corp.
B. White staked the Sandra cl (YB27607) to the north in Jun/90.
Capsule Geology
This is probably the coal occurrence reported on Lone Pine Mountain by the GSC. It occurs in the Lower Jurassic Laberge Group and is largely obscured by overburden, but is reportedly 2.1 m thick, strikes 150° and dips steeply northeast.
