The Beaver Creek is a gold and copper mine located in Alaska.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
Mine Info
Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Exploration): Status = Active
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Cu skarn; unknown if porphyry-related (Cox and Singer, 1986; models 18a or 18b)
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = A variety of lithologies, including marble, clastic sedimentary rocks, and intrusive and volcanic rocks, have been mapped on the property. Copper-gold-magnetite occurs as skarns developed in the carbonate-rich rocks (K. Adler, Rev. Michael Hornick, personal communication, 1998).
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Work on the property included mapping; airborne magnetic, ground magnetic and VLF geophysical surveys; rock and stream silt geochemical surveys. Thick cover precludes meaningful soil sampling surveys.
