Locality equivalent to #72 of Miller, Bundtzen, and Gray (2005), Table 1.
Location: This occurrence is on a prominent, northeast-trending ridge that separates the North Fork of Otter Creek from the headwaters of Moose Creek. The occurrences is about 2.5 miles north-northeast of triangulation station 'Caribou' and about 1,000 feet east of the center of section 32, T. 29 N., R. 45 W., of the Seward Meridian. The location is accurate.
Geology: A composite grab sample of apparently unmineralized, moderately sorted sandstone of the Upper Cretaceous, Kuskokwim Group contained 76 parts per million antimony (McGimsey and others, 1988; Miller and Bundtzen, 1994; Miller, Bundtzen, and Gray, 2005). The source of the elevated antimony is an enigma.
Workings: Surface samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1986 (McGimsey and others, 1988).
