Location: This prospect is at an elevation of about 2,100 feet about 2 miles northeast of Williamsport on Iliamna Bay. It is in the NE1/4 SW1/4 sec. 32, T. 5 S., R. 25 W., Seward Meridian. The location is probably accurate within 0.5 mile. It is locality 26 of Detterman and Cobb (1972).
Geology: This prospect is in an area underlain mainly by Lower or Middle Jurassic quartz diorite containing small roof pendants of mafic and ultramafic rocks (Detterman and Reed, 1980). The mafic and ultramafic rocks include gabbro, hornblende gabbro, hornblendite, and pyroxenite. The deposit consists of veins, disseminations, and irregular pods or lenses of magnetite in the mafic and ultramafic rocks. The deposit possibly is large but low grade (Berg and Cobb, 1967).
Workings: Berg and Cobb (1967) reported that the locality had been staked; there is no record of any workings.
Age: Jurassic.
