Location: The Rogach prospect pits is at an elevation of about 1,130 feet between the two forks at the head of Nugget Creek. It is about one mile northwest of the top of Ester Dome, in the SE1/4NE1/4 sec. 26, T. 1 N., R. 3 W., Fairbanks Meridian.
Geology: Several rock units are within the area prospected for gold by John Rogach. Cretaceous dikes have intruded the Fairbanks Schist, which is composed of quartz-muscovite schist, quartzite, and chlorite-quartz schist (Newberry and others, 1996). Amphibolite, marble, and biotite schist are also found in the area around the Rogach prospects at the head of Nugget Creek. In the fall of 1938, the workings at the prospect consisted of pits and shallow shafts (Reed, 1938, p. 5).
Workings: In the fall of 1938, the workings at the prospect consisted of pits and shallow shafts (Reed, 1938, p. 5).
