Location: Placer gold occurs from the mouth of the East Fork Chulitna River, upstream as far as the map site, which is in the NE1/4 of sec. 34, T. 20 S., R. 10 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. This is location D-26 of Balen (1990: OFR 34-90). The location is accurate to within 1 mile.
Geology: The East Fork Chulitna River drains an area containing porphyry, skarn, and polymetallic, metamorphic, and epithermal vein deposits, all having significant Au contents. These deposits probably are the source of placer gold in the East Fork Chulitna River. Two placer samples from the site contained traces of gold (Balen, 1990: OFR 34-90).
Workings: Surface exploration only.
Age: Quaternary.
Commodities (Major) - Au
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
