Location: This occurrence is located about 4 miles northeast of Ernie Lake. The occurrence is at an elevation of about 1,700 meters, about 0.2 mile west-southwest of the center of section 14, T. 30 N., R. 24 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. The occurrence is the site of sample 55 of Dillon and others (1981 [AOF 133B]). The location is accurate.
Geology: This occurrence consists of maroon, felsic schist that contains 5% oxidized sulfides (Dillon and others, 1981 [AOF 133B]). The sulfides are principally pyrite and sphalerite, and possibly galena. A rock sample contains 350 ppm Zn. The rocks in the area are Devonian, Skajit Limestone, a few miles south of the Earnie Lake pluton (Dillon and others, 1986). No other information is available.
Workings: Only surface sampling.
Alteration: Oxidation of sulfide minerals.
Commodities (Major) - Zn; (Minor) - Pb(?)
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Polymetallic replacement deposit (?) (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 19a)
