Staked as Oats cl 1-78 (Y46366) in Dec/69 by Atlas Explorations Ltd which carried out grid based soil sampling and reconnassaice geological mapping in 1970.
Restaked within Hayes cl 1-100 (YE23916) and cl 101-1316 (YE22701) in Jun/2011 by Ethos Capital Corp. The claims are subject to prior option agreement negoiatated between the company and S. Ryan and Wildwood Exploration Inc covering the adjoining Betty property (Minfile Occurrences # 115 J 069, 070, 071 and 074). Ethos Capital reportedly carried out soil sampling, prospecting, geological mapping programs and flew an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the claim block in 2011.
GEOLOGY
The area was reconnaissance mapped by D. Templeman-Kluit in 1974. Gordey and Makepeace (2003) released a geological compilation that covered this area. In 2006, M. Colpron of the Yukon Geological Survey released a Tectonic Assemblage map which included this portion of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane. Recently J. Ryan, C. Roots and others employed by the Geological Survey of Canada have been conducting geological mapping in the area as part of a joint project with the Yukon Geological Survey. Various maps and other products are tentatively scheduled to be pubically released in 2012.
The Hayes property covers most of the Selwyn River and Hayes Creek drainages in west-central Yukon. The property is underlain by metamorphic rocks which Gordey and Makepeace assigned to the Devonian to Mississippian Nasina assemblage. Recent work by J. Ryan suggests that these rocks likely belong to the slightly younger Permian aged Klondike Schist assemblage. The western half of the property is intruded by mid-Cretaceous granodiorite assigned to the Dawson Range batholith.
Based on limited data it appears the occurrence is underlain by Devonian to Mississippian (or younger) metamorphic rocks. It appears the Oats claims were staked to explore for copper porphyry deposits similar to the recently discovered Casino deposit (Minfile Occurrence #115J 028) located approximately 37.5 km to the northeast. A search of assessment records failed to uncover any information on the Oats claims however numerous other reports filed by the company indicates that they carried out a large regional exploration program in the region.
Ethos Capital has not yet released any results from their 2011 exploration program on the Hayes claim block.
