Comments

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Minor prospecting and exploration in the early 1900s.

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Grybeck and Nelson, 1981

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Schrader (1904) reported that six or more quartz veins, 10 to 75 ft. thick occur in a belt 6 miles long. The veins contain pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, malachite, and stibnite; they were reported to have been discovered in 1902-1903 by prospectors in the vicinity. The country rock in the area is marble interlayered with chlorite schist of the Devonian and Silurian Skajit Limestone (Nelson and Grybeck, 1980).

Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Located within Gates of the Arctic National Park.
