Core samples from three drill holes from the Jones Creek prospect are stored at the Alaska Geologic Materials Center in Eagle River, Alaska. See also: Roosevelt Creek (WI134).
Location: The exact location of this lode occurrence is uncertain. It is probably at an elevation of about 1,100 feet on a north tributary to Jones Creek, in the SW1/4 section 22, T. 27 N., R. 23 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. The coordinates are between two different locations given by Grybeck (1977) and Kurtak and others (2002).
Geology: Almost no information is available on this property except that it reportedly is a stratiform Cu-Zn occurrence in an area whose geology and geochemistry is similar to that in the Ambler District to the west (Grybeck, 1977, loc. 3). Regional geologic mapping indicates that the rocks in the vicinity of this occurrence are Devonian, Ambler metavolcanic rocks (Dillon and others, 1986). Thirty-six lode claims were staked in 1975 (Grybeck, 1977) and 3 holes were drilled on the prospect in the 1970's by Anaconda Minerals.
Workings: Thirty-six lode claims were staked in 1975 (Grybeck, 1977) and 3 holes were drilled on the prospect in the 1970's by Anaconda Minerals.
Commodities (Major) - Cu, Zn
Development Status: None
