Capsule Geology

The Yellow Jacket claim (Lot 1327) lies 1200 metres east of the Phoenix pit (082ESE020), adjacent to Curlew (082ESE024) to the west. Early work consists of a shaft. The claim was Crown granted to J.F. Cunningham and J. Mulligan in 1904.

Little is know of the showing. Mineralization likely consists of pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminations in sharpstone conglomerate, argillite and limestone of the Triassic Brooklyn Group. These rocks are underlain by chert and greenstone of the Upper Paleozoic Knob Hill Group.

See Phoenix for additional details on development, geology and mineralization in the area.
