Location: This occurrence is at an elevation of about 2,100 feet on or near hill 2110, about 1 mile east-southeast of Summit Lakes. It is in the SE1/4 sec. 35, T. 5 S., R. 26 W., Seward Meridian. The occurrence is locality 33 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977), and is accurate within about 1 mile.
Geology: This occurrence is based on mining claims located for copper (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1973; MacKevett and Holloway, 1977). The area of claims is probably underlain by Jurassic quartz diorite (Detterman and Reed, 1980). The occurrence probably consists of small concentrations of copper minerals such as chalcopyrite or the oxidized copper carbonate, malachite.
Workings: The area has been geologically mapped in reconnaissance (Detterman and Reed, 1980). No workings are known at the site.
Age: Jurassic or younger (Detterman and Reed, 1980).
Commodities (Major) - Cu
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Porphyry copper? (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 17).
