Location: The Tom prospect is at an elevation of approximately 600 feet, 2 miles south-southeast of the Hawk Inlet docks and ore transfer facility and 5 miles west of Eagle Peak. It is in the SW1/4NE1/4 section 35, T. 43 S., R. 65 E. of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate within 1/4 mile.
Geology: Lode gold claims were active at this site from 1975 through 1982. Wells and others (1986) call it the Tom prospect. The Alaska Kardex file 112-162 shows a silver, lead, and zinc claim at this site, but the occurrence may merely be the center of a large claim block staked during the exploration of the Greens Creek area. The rocks in the general area are mainly Ordovician and Devonian to Triassic, clastic units, mafic-intermediate volcanic rocks, and subordinate limestone. The bedded rocks are intruded and locally metamorphosed by Cretaceous granodiorite (Gehrels and Berg, 1994).
Workings: Lode gold claims were active at this site from 1975 through 1982. Wells and others (1986) call it the Tom prospect. The Alaska Kardex file 112-162 shows a silver, lead, and zinc claim at this site, but the occurrence may merely be the center of a large claim block staked during the exploration of the Greens Creek area.
