Work History
Staked as AH 63-78 cl (Yll231) in Nov/66 by Empress ML (Atlas EL and Nippon Mg L), following release of GSC aeromagnetic maps and reconnaissance geochemistry. Empress prospected the anomaly in 1967.
Restaked by the southern portion of a 11.2 km long block of Raz cl (Y67489) in Nov/72 by Can. Occidental Pet. L following reconnaissance geochemical exploration.
P. Kelly staked KW cl 1-26 (YB57383) 4 km to the west and R. Wondga staked KW cl 53-60 (YB57435) 2.5 km to the west in Feb/95. In Mar/96 Wondga staked WK cl 1-20 (YB66631) in the gap between the two groups of KW claims. Wondga added WK cl 21-28 (YB67146) in Jul/96.
Capsule Geology
The AH claims were staked on the east side of a 150 gamma linear magnetic anomaly in Lower Cretaceous Mt Nansen volcanics. The Raz claims extend north to cover the contact of Mt Nansen volcanics with a slightly younger hornblende granodiorite intrusion. This contact is associated with centres of high copper geochemical response which are usually caused by minor disseminated chalcopyrite along northwest trending shears.
