The Creeks 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 (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Freeman and others, 1998
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The Creeks prospect is defined by a series of multi-element soil anomalies extending from the Hi Yu mine on the west to Walnut Creek on the east (Freeman and others, 1998). These anomalies consist of large areas of moderate to strongly anomalous gold, arsenic, and antimony. 1998 drilling was designed to find mineralization in previously untested areas using widely spaced (+1,000 feet) reverse circulation drilling. One hole intercepted 135 feet with 0.014 ounces of gold per ton and anomalous gold pathfinder elements. Because of disappointing drill results, no work was recommended on the Creeks prospect in 1999.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Reverse circulation drilling was conducted in 1998 to follow up on soil auger anomalies (Freeman and others, 1998).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Gold-quartz vein.
