Location: The approximate location of this prospect is near the north end of the Wyoming Hills, west of the East Fork Toklat River. The map site is at an elevation of about 3,800 feet, just north of the center of sec. 20, T. 14 S., R. 12 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. The location is accurate to within 1.5 miles.
Geology: The country rocks in the area of this prospect are Devonian metavolcanic schist and phyllite. Limited published information suggests that the deposit consists of silver-bearing galena-sphalerite-calcite-quartz veins in the metamorphic rocks. This description is largely inferred from Berg and Cobb's (1967) description of silver-rich lead-zinc veins in the Kantishna district.
Workings: Surface only.
Commodities (Major) - Ag, Pb; (Minor) - Zn
