Location: This site marks the approximate center of several occurrences in the area. They are at an elevation of approximately 2,500 feet, along a west-northwest-trending ridge 3 miles west of Lynn Canal and 1.5 miles south of Mount Golub. The site is in the SE1/4SW1/4 section 33, T. 39 S., R. 62 E. of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate within 1 mile.
Geology: The general area is underlain by deformed and metamorphosed Silurian or Devonian carbonate, clastic and volcanic clastic rocks that have been intruded by Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous granitic and dioritic rocks (Brew and others, 1992). This occurrence is one of several widely scattered skarn deposits in the area between Nun Mountain and just south of Mount Golub, where a Cretaceous granodiorite pluton intrudes a thick limestone unit (Clough and Redman, 1989). The U.S. Bureau of Mines noted several small, discontinuous garnet-epidote skarns up to a foot thick and several feet long that contain sparse chalcopyrite and pyrite (Clough and Redman, 1989). Samples of skarn contained up to 2,400 ppm copper. A limestone sample contained up to 110 ppm silver, 1,600 ppm lead, 1,600 ppm zinc, and 430 ppm copper (Clough and Redman, 1989).
Workings: Surface samples only.
Commodities (Major) - Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Cu skarn deposit (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 18b)
