...trying to figure out who owns the claims, maybe we could stake it ourselves. ...In 1953 John Donner and G. Fontane staked Rita 21 (W 22022) and Rita 26 (W
20027), respectively. Ownership was transferred to Art Callari in 1969.
The claims lapsed in 1974.
In 1978 W. Baker and C.J. Baker staked W 46004 and CB 9591, respectively,
over the deposit. Esso Resources Canada Limited acquired the property in
1980 and carried out geological mapping, line cutting, and prospecting in
1981. Ownership of the claims was transferred to W. Baker in 1985. HISTORY

Manitoba Mines Branch. URL N/A REMARKS Surface work was done on Syndicate
No. 7 (W 38055). A vein was traced for 186 m. Trenching, pits and diamond
drilling revealed samples which assayed from 0.34 g/tonne (.01 oz/ton) to
20.2 g/tonne (0.59 oz/ton), with 0.34 g/tonne (.01 oz/ton) being the
normal value. Heavy overburden halted trenching and necessitated drilling.
Width of the vein ranged from 1.22 to 3.1 m. Showings in Syndicate No. 7
were found in schist enclosed by gneissic granite. The enclosed rock is
probably a highly altered basic dyke or a greenstone inclusion.
Surface sampling of other Syhdicate claims gave assay values of trace to
0.69 g/tonne (0.02 oz/ton) gold.
The deposit is probably related to the gold deposit on Luana M.C. (52 M/4,
AU 13) about 5.6 km southeast of Syndicate No. 9 and 10. NOTES N/A
