The prospect is in West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness.
Location: The Gold Pan prospect is at sea level at the northernmost part of Sister Lake. The prospect is 0.4 mile northwest of the center of sec. 7, T. 49 S., R. 59 E. It is MAS no. 0021140122 (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002). The location is accurate within 0.5 mile.
Geology: Johnson and Karl map the rocks in the area of this prospect as the Freeburn assemblage, a collage of kilometer-scale, fault-bounded, lozenge-shaped blocks of Cretaceous and Cretaceous(?) metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. The rocks are cut by numerous steeply-dipping, mainly northwest-striking faults. They include the extension of the fault at the Hirst Mine (SI087) which controls the mineralization there and whose trace is about a mile southwest of this prospect. The only published information about this prospect is that it has been staked for lode gold (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002).
