The UCC Stockwork prospect is on land selected by or conveyed to Doyon, Ltd. For further information, contact Doyon, Ltd., at 1 Doyon Place, Suite 300, Fairbanks, Alaska, 99701-2941.
Location: The site of this lode prospect, informally called UCC Stockwork, is on a 2,900-foot knoll on an east-trending ridge, in the southeast quarter of section 33, T. 7 N., R. 18 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian.
Geology: The UCC Stockwork prospect is a quartz-chalcopyrite stockwork exposed in an area of about 1,000 square feet. It is hosted in Proterozoic or Paleozoic schist, just south of a sliver of Paleozoic carbonate (Chapman and others, 1982). The prospect was examined in 1979 by Union Carbide Corporation for base metal potential. After sampling and petrographic studies, the company concluded that the deposit was not ore grade at that time. North Star Exploration, Inc., examined this area for Doyon, Ltd., in 1998 (North Star Exploration, Inc., 1999 [Report 99-34]). The company reported anomalous gold values at the UCC Stockwork prospect (North Star Exploration Inc., 2000 [Highly mineralized block 20]), and interpreted it as a potential quartz-stockwork gold deposit similar to the one on Morelock Creek (TN033).
Workings: UCC Stockwork was examined in 1979 by Union Carbide Corporation for base metal potential (Placer Dome, 1989). After conducting sampling and petrographic studies, the company concluded that the prospect was not ore grade at that time.
