Location: The JLC placer prospect is on an unnamed creek that enters Speel Arm, 0.85 mile northeast Bogert Point . The prospect is about in the center of the south half of section 12, T. 44 S., R. 71 E. of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate within 1/4 mile.
Geology: The regional geology of the area consists of pelitic schist, calc-silicate schist, marble, and quartzite (Brew and Ford,1985). Gehrels and Berg (1992) show a small pluton of Cretaceous granodiorite west of the prospect. Redman and others (1989) describe the host rocks at the prospect as foliated diorite. Claims were reported active from 1880 through 1980 (Wells and others, 1986). The location given by Wells and others (1986) appears to be incorrect and conflicts with all other reported locations. The Wells report may have mistaken the Bogert Point placer (TR020), for the JLC prospect. No other information is available.
Workings: Claims were reported active from 1880 through 1980 (Wells and others, 1986).
Age: Quaternary.
Commodities (Major) - Au
Development Status: Undetermined.
Deposit Model: Placer gold (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
