Location: The Fish-Pool prospect is at an elevation of about 130 feet, on or near an unnamed creek that enters the southwest side of upper Tenakee Inlet. The prospect is 0.2 mile northeast of the center of sec. 33, T. 45 S., R. 59 E. It is MAS no. 0021140096 (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002). The location is accurate within 0.5 mile.
Geology: Loney and others (1975) map the rocks in the area of this prospect as Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks that are intruded by or are roof pendants in a Cretaceous diorite-tonalite-granodiorite batholith. The strata have been thermally metamorphosed to hornfels, granofels, marble, schist, and amphibolite. These metamorphic and plutonic rocks in turn are intruded by stocks of Tertiary(?) leucogabbro. The rocks are cut by numerous high-angle faults of varying, but mainly northwest strike. The only published information about this prospect is that it has been staked for an unspecified commodity (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002).
Development Status: Undetermined.
