The prospect is in West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness.
Location: The Saloma (Soloma?) prospect is at an elevation of about 1,000 feet, approximately 1.5 miles northeast of Soloma Point near the head of Lisianski Inlet. The prospect is about 0.4 mile northwest of the center of sec. 21, T. 46 S., R. 58 E. It is MAS no. 0021140093 (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002). The location is accurate within about a mile.
Geology: Johnson and Karl (1985) map the rocks in the area of this prospect as Paleozoic(?) marble, hornfels, schist, and gneiss that are intruded by stocks of Cretaceous or Jurassic, quartz diorite and gabbro. The rocks are cut by northwest-striking, steeply-dipping faults, the most prominent of which is the regional-scale Peril Strait Fault that extends along Lisianski Inlet about 2 miles southwest of the prospect. The only published information about this prospect is that it is a lode staked for copper and nickel (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 2002).
