Alaska Kardex No. 031-067 (Kardex is a card file mining claim information system located at the State of Alaska DNR Public Information Center in Fairbanks).
Location: The occurrence is at an elevation of about 5,100 feet near the head of Anderson Creek, a south-flowing tributary of Baby Creek (junction of secs. 21, 22, 27, 28, T. 33 N., R. 5 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian) approximately 12 1/2 miles north-northwest of Chandalar. The location is accurate within a 1-mile radius.
Geology: The property is near a thrust fault in lower Paleozoic metamorphic rocks between two masses of the Devonian(?) granitic Baby Creek batholith (DeYoung, 1978). No description of the occurrence is available. DeYoung (1978) noted that six claims were located in 1975 and listed the commodities of interest as Au and As. The U.S. Bureau of Mines, however, lists the commodities of interest as unspecified Cu and Mo sulfides and by-product As (Maas, 1987). As a Cu-Mo occurrence, the property is interesting because it is near the Geroe Creek porphyry prospect (CH053).
Workings: Six claims located in 1975 by Oil Development Co. of Texas.
Commodities (Major) - Cu, Mo; (Minor) - As
Development Status: None
