The Cap01 occurrence is located on the northeast side of a steep creek gully flowing south into Captain Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1250 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 2011, a rock sample (79831), assayed 0.175 per cent niobium, 0.302 per cent strontium and 0.077 per cent total rare earth elements (Assessment Report 33857). The same year another two rock samples containing disseminated pyrite and purple fluorite, taken across the gully to the northwest, assayed from 0.10 to 0.13 per cent total rare earth elements and 0.013 to 0.027 per cent niobium (Assessment Report 33169).

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. That year a program of prospecting and limited geochemical sampling was completed.

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.
