The Trembley Creek is a gold 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 (Geology): Age = Quaternary.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Dillon, 1987
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Indications of placer mining activity noted along Kuyuktuvuk Creek above the mouth of Trembley Creek (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1973; Dillon, 1987). Heiner and Wolff (1968) reported that claims were located at the mouth of Trembley Creek in 1963.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Two claims were reported to have been located in 1963, and there is evidence of placer mining activity, principally along Kuyuktuvuk Creek (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1973; Dillon, 1987). Country rocks in the area are shown by DeYoung (1978) to be principally Devonian limestone and siltstone, Pennsylvanian and Mississippian limestone, dolomite, shale, and conglomerate of the Lisburne Group and Kayak Shale, and Devonian Hunt Fork Shale. No other information is available on this occurrence.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = This occurrence is located within Gates of the Arctic National Park..Alaska Kardex No. 031-51 (Kardex is a card file mining claim information system located at the State of Alaska DNR Public Information Center in Fairbanks).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Not determined
