Geology: Hoare and Coonrad (1959) reported that copper-bearing minerals had been observed in andesitic bedrock dredged from the base of the Tuluksak River placer deposit (BH014). They show a lode copper prospect approximately at this map site but the accuracy of this location is not known. Bedrock in the area is Jurassic andesitic and basaltic volcanic rocks (Box and others, 1993).
Age: Jurassic or younger; host rocks to copper minerals are Jurassic andesitic and basaltic volcanic rocks (Box and others, 1993).
