Location: This prospect is about 0.3 mile west of lower Dolomi Bay and about 0.4 mile north-northeast of the center of section 7, T. 78 S., R. 89 E.
Geology: As described by Maas and others (1991,1995), the Stockton Quartz prospect has a flooded shaft with a small dump. The rocks on the dump consist of quartz and blocks of greenstone. Two samples contained 9 and 20 parts per billion gold. Herreid (1967) maps the rocks near the prospect as part of a band of greenschist in the Wales Group of Late Proterozoic and Cambrian age. The Wales Group rocks rocks in the Dolomi area are folded into a large dome centered over the eastern third of Paul Lake, and consist of several marble layers 200 to 1300 feet thick, interbedded with calcareous chlorite schist and marble.
Workings: The only evidence of workings is a flooded shaft and a small dump. The prospect is on a patented claim.
Age: The deposit is younger than the Late Proterozoic or Cambrian host rocks.
Commodities (Major) - Au
