The site, which is locality 26 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977), is accurate within about 1 mile.
Geology: The area of this occurrence is underlain by volcanic flows and fragmental rocks of the Jurassic Talkeetna Formation, and possibly at shallow depth by Jurassic granodiorite, which crops out to the south and northeast (Detterman and Reed, 1980). Copper or iron claims were staked in the area (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1973; MacKevett and Holloway, 1977), probably on chalcopyrite- or magnetite-bearing skarn deposits.
Workings: Claims have been located, but there is no record of any workings.
Age: Jurassic or younger.
Commodities (Major) - Cu?, Fe?
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Probably Fe or Cu skarn (Cox and Singer, models 18d, 18b).
