Comments
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The Bull River drainage area includes the Chulitna mineral district (for example, HE043), whose porphyry, skarn, and vein deposits all could be sources of placer gold. The richest of four samples of unspecified material collected by balen (1990: OFR 34-90) contained 1.5 ppm gold.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Surface workings only.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Balen, 1990 (OFR 34-90)
Comment (Geology): Age = Quaternary.
