Unpublished data cited is available for viewing by contacting Grayd Resources Inc. in Vancouver, B. C., Canada (www.grayd.com), or Northern Associates Inc. in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Location: This occurrence is at an elevation of about 6,000 feet and one-half mile north of the Kimball Glacier and approximately 5 miles south of the terminus of the glacier at the head of the West Fork Robertson River. It is about 0.2 mile west-northwest of the center of section 12, T. 19 S., R. 16 E., Fairbanks Meridian. The location is accurate.
Geology: This occurrence is in an area of a hydrothermal massive sulfide veins. The rocks are quartz-sericite schist with massive pyrite bands as much as 12 inches thick (R.A. Blakestad and others, unpublished Resource Associates of Alaska, Inc. report, 1978). Samples contain as much as 0.5 percent copper and lead, 1.8 percent zinc, and less than 1 ounce of silver per ton. No significant gold is reported, but it is not clear how many samples were analyzed for gold.
Workings: This occurrence has only had limited surface sampling.
Age: Devonian or younger, on the basis of the age of the host rock, which is in the Jarvis Creek Glacier subterrane (Nokleberg and others, 1992).
Commodities (Major) - Cu, Pb, Zn; (Minor) - Ag
