Location: The Oso prospect is at an elevation of about 200 feet near the mouth of an unnamed creek, about a mile north-northwest of the town of Pelican. The prospect is 0.2 mile north of the center of sec. 18, T. 45 S., R. 57 E. It is MAS no. 0021140002 (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002). The location is accurate within about 0.2 mile.
Geology: Loney and others (1975) map the rocks in the area of this prospect as Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks that are intruded by, or are roof pendants in a Cretaceous diorite batholith. The Paleozoic rocks have been thermally metamorphosed to hornfels, granofels, marble, schist, and amphibolite. The rocks are cut by numerous faults of diverse strike, the most prominent of which is the Peril Strait Fault, a regional-scale, northwest-striking, steeply-dipping fault whose trace is along Lisianski Inlet just southwest of the prospect. The only published information about this prospect is that is a lode claim for an unspecified commodity (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002).
Development Status: Undetermined.
