The Logtung tungsten-molybdenum property straddles the British Columbia-Yukon border about 66 kilometres southeast of Teslin. Yukon Territory. The British Columbia zone on the prospect was discovered in 1976 by Cordilleran Engineering Limited while prospecting for the source of a tungsten geochemical anomaly in the Logjam Creek-Two Ladder Creek area. The Jam 1 to 5 claims 198 units) ancl Camp 1 claim (2 units) in the Atlin Mining Division and 138 adjacent claims in the Yukon were staked to cover the prospect. The property was optioned to Amax Potash Limited in 1977. During 1977, Amax drilled 4163 metres of NQ and 58.8 metres of BO core in four holes on the B.C. zone (Fig. 15) and about 2 365 metre:, in the main zone (Central and Yukon zones, Schroeter, 1977). The main zone, a quartz vein stockwork deposit in the Yukon, subparallel to the border, was indicated to be of better grade and tonnage potential 1214,000,000 tons grading 0.12 per cent WO, and 0.05 per cent MoS2. George Cross Newsletter, No. 64, 19781. During 1978 Amax concentrated on defining the Yukon zone. The centre of the Jam claim block is 8 kilometres north of the Alaska Highway at latitude 59 degrees 5el minutes north and longitude 131 degrees 35 minutes west. Access to the camp and claims is via a 13-kilometre gravel road which leaves the Alaska Highway a t Kilometre 1213. GENERAL SETTING
