This occurrence is within Lake Clark National Preserve.
Location: This occurrence is on the west side of a south tributary valley to the upper Another River. It is about 3.8 miles southeast of Merrill Pass and 2.8 miles northwest of The Tusk. The map site is at an elevation of about 3,600 feet, in the NW1/4 section 7, T 12 N, R 22 W, of the Seward Meridian. This occurrence was included by Cobb and Reed (1981) under the name Another R. It is approximately located, perhaps within a mile.
Geology: Cobb and Reed (1981) reported that molybdenite- and pyrite-bearing quartz veins are present in Tertiary granitic rocks at this locality. Galena- and sphalerite-bearing veins are also present nearby. The veins are disseminated and appear to be associated with quartz monzonite and in adjacent fractured quartz diorite. Samples of veins contain as much as 3 ounces of silver per ton (Resource Associates of Alaska, unpublished data, 1976).
Workings: Reconnaissance sampling has been completed in this area.
Age: Tertiary. Sulfide-bearing quartz veins crosscut Tertiary granitic rocks.
Alteration: Silicification.
Commodities (Major) - Ag, Mo, Pb, Zn
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Porphyry Mo, low-F? (Cox and Singer, 1986, model 21b)
