The locality is in the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve.
Location: This prospect(?) is on the Lakina River at an elevation of about 1,800 feet; it is in the west-central part of section 10, T. 5 S., R. 12 E. of the Copper River Meridian. It is identified as locality WRST-239 on an unpublished National Park Service map but the accompanying data are for a copper occurrence on Nugget Creek in the McCarthy C-8 quadrangle. It is assumed that this is a valid mineral location and that it is probably a placer gold prospect.
Geology: This area is identified as locality WRST-239 on an unpublished National Park Service map but the accompanying data are for a copper occurrence on Nugget Creek in the McCarthy C-8 quadrangle. It is assumed that this is a valid mineral location and that it is probably a placer gold prospect. Quaternary surficial deposits cover this area and bedrock is not exposed. The rocks under the nearby uplands are mainly metamorphic rocks and Cretaceous siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, intruded by Tertiary hypabyssal felsic plutons (MacKevett, 1978).
