Geology: Prospect, which includes fifteen placer gold claims, occurs at the contact of a sedimentary rocks and quartz monzonite. The sedimentary package includes: interbedded medium-gray, medium- to fine-grained lithic graywacke, silty sandstone, black shale, and local conglomerate (Nelson and others, 1983; unit KJs). The quartz monzonite is part of the numerous small intrusive bodies found in the central part of the Lake Clark 1:250,000 scale quadrangle mapped and identified by Eakins and others (1978). One of these plutons yielded a potassium-argon biotite age of 71.3 +/- 2.1 m.y. (Eakins and others, 1978).
