The granite porphyry has phenocrysts of quartz, plagioclase, and potassic feldspar up to 4 mm across in a groundmass of quartz, potassic feldspar, and plagioclase grains up to 1 mm across (Nelson and others, 1983; unit TKi10).
Comment (Reserve-Resource): Reserves = No reserves
Comment (Production): Production Notes = No production
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Site is in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
