Location: A large block of several hundred claims on southern Kupreanof Island that covers the southeastern one-third of T. 61 S., R. 74 E. (U. S. Bureau of Mines, 1980). The coordinates are about the center of the claim block. Locality 23 of Grybeck, Berg, and Karl (1984); see that report and U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1980, for the outline of the claim block.

Geology: No information has been published on the economic geology of the claim block but it is probably related to the large, vivid, orange-yellow altered zone that covers many square miles within the claim block. See PE019 for a description of this altered zone.

Workings: A large block of several hundred claims staked in 1981 and active through at least 1982.
