The Cap02 occurrence is located on the northeast side of Captain Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1270 metres.

The area is underlain by dolomitic carbonate rocks of the Ordovician Skoki Formation and other carbonaceous sediments of the Lower Ordovician Chushina Formation.

In 2010, three rock samples (75479, 75502 and 75503) from fine-grained alkaline dikes yielded values from 0.040 to 0.098 per cent niobium, 0.113 to 0.319 gram per tonne zirconium and 0.055 to 0.063 per cent total rare earth elements (Assessment Report 31974).

Work History

In 2010, Zimptu Capital and Alberta Limited staked the area as the Cap 1-5 claims to cover an aeromagnetic high identified in a regional aeromagnetic survey. A program of prospecting and limited geochemical sampling was completed that same year.

In 2011, Arctic Star Exploration completed a program of rock and soil sampling and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys. Also in 2011, Bolero Resource completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping and a 4156.0 line-kilometre airborne magnetic and radiometric survey on the area as the Carbonatite Syndicate property.

In 2017, Artic Star Exploration Corp. completed a program of rock sampling and four diamond drill holes, totalling 647.5 metres on the Cap property.
