Site is located within Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.
Location: This site is located 4.9 miles north of Anvil Mountain is sec. 33, T. 32 S., R. 33 W., of the Seward Meridian (Foley and Barker, 1985, figure 26 locality 16G; Foley and others, 1989, locality 32). Site is location is accurate to within several hundred feet.
Geology: At this mineral occurrence, one of several within the Halibut Bay ultramafic complex, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite are present within a 3-foot-wide zone of pyroxenite. A sample of this material contained 2,000 ppm copper and traces of gold, platinum, and palladium (Foley and Barker, 1985, table 14). Nickel content was not determined. The Halibut Bay ultramafic complex, consisting mostly of dunite, gabbro, pyroxenite, and peridotite, occurs within sedimentary units of the Uyak formation of Cretaceous age.
Workings: A grab sample contained 2000 ppm copper and traces of gold, platinum, and palladium.
Commodities (Major) - Cu
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Synorogenic-synvolcanic nickel-copper (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 7a?)
