The Unnamed (Hattie 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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Bundtzen and others, 1990
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = In 1988 and 1989, Grateful Dog Mining investigated an igneous body using geochemical, magnetometer, and electromagnetic techniques, and also dug test pits and drilling it (Bundtzen and others, 1987, p. 8; Bundtzen and others, 1990, p. 12).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Gold-bearing intrusive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This prospect consists of a gold-bearing igneous body that has been mapped by Newberry and others (1996) as a Cretaceous altered dike. This map unit contains altered quartz porphyry, tonalite, granodiorite, and undifferentiated mafic dikes. Grateful Dog Mining investigated this igneous body by drilling and using geochemical and magnetometer techniques (Bundtzen and others, 1990, p. 12). These investigations resulted in the definition of anomalous thorium, niobium, tantalum, and rare-earth elements in stockwork-like fissures in metaplutonic(?) rocks of the area (Bundtzen and others, 1987, p. 8).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
