The locality is in the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve.
Location: This occurrence is 1.2 miles south of Bow Pass. It is at an elevation of about 6,700 feet, about 5,000 feet northeast of elevation 8430 in the SW1/4 of section 20, T. 2 N., R. 18 E. of the Copper River Meridian. This is locality 189 of MacKevett (1976). The location is probably accurate to within 1,000 feet.
Geology: This occurrence consists of thin chalcocite- and bornite-bearing quartz veins that are localized along the contact of Tertiary felsite (MacKevett, 1976). A sample of the vein material contained 15 parts per million (ppm) silver and more than 20,000 ppm copper.
Workings: Only minor surface sampling.
Age: Tertiary based on the age of the felsite host rock.
Alteration: Silicification.
Commodities (Major) - Cu
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Quartz veins with chalcocite and bornite
