Location: The Rose Creek prospect is located in the NW1/4SE1/4 sec. 26, T. 2 N., R. 1 E., Fairbanks Meridian. This prospect is at an elevation of approximately 1,800 feet, about 0.4 mile southeast of the junction of Rose Creek and Evening Star Creek, and about one mile east-northeast of Tungsten Hill. This prospect is locality 28 of Cobb (1972 [MF 410]).
Geology: Tiny veinlets of stibnite are found in a 6- to 8-inch-wide quartz-feldspar vein that strikes N. 30 E. and dips 70 NW. One vein was opened by a 15-foot shaft and an incline; parallel veins were opened by small prospect pits (Chapin, 1914 [B 592-J, p. 346]). This prospect lies on the western edge of a Cretaceous granite that intrudes two units of the Fairbanks Schist that are composed of (1) quartz-muscovite schist, quartzite, and chlorite-quartz schist, and (2) amphibolite, magnetite-rich biotite schist, quartz schist, and marble (Newberry and others, 1996).
Workings: One vein was opened by a 15-foot shaft and an incline; parallel veins were opened by small prospect pits (Chapin, 1914 [B 592-J, p. 346]).
