Location: The prospect is located about a mile southwest of the head of Snug Harbor, at an elevation of 1,100 feet. It is in the NW1/4 section 19, T. 2 N., R. 10 E., of the Seward Meridian. This is location 243 of Tysdal (1978 [MF-880-A]) and location S-36 of Jansons and others (1984). This location is accurate to 300 feet.
Geology: Bedrock at this prospect is greenstone of the Orca Group of early Teriary age and contains disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite (Kurtak and Jeske, 1986). Workings on the prospect consist of a collapsed adit and an open cut above it. Samples from near the collapsed adit contained 0.24 percent and 1.0 percent copper and 0.36 percent and 0.48 percent nickel (Kurtak and Jeske, 1986).
Workings: Workings on the prospect consist of a collapsed adit of unknown length and an open cut. Grant and Higgins (1909) reported two 150-foot adits in the area, but the U.S. Bureau of Mines only found one adit when they visited in the early 1980's. Samples taken near the collapsed adit contained from 0.24 percent to 1.0% percent copper and from 0.36 percent to 0.48 percent nickel (Kurtak and Jeske, 1986).
Age: Tertiary or younger; the occurrence is in rocks of the Orca Group of Tertiary age.
