Area covered by active claims in 2008.
Location: These prospects are scattered throughout a heavily forested area somewhat larger than 1,000 feet in diameter, centered about 0.5 mile east of the east end of Harvey Lake. The center of the area is about 0.5 mile west-northwest of the center of section 25, T 61 S, R. 79 E. Figure 18 of Still and others (2002) show the location of 9 holes drilled in 1999 and the location of the several samples they collected.
Geology: At various times from the 1970's to 2008, much of central Woewodski Island was staked by a succession of companies; these include Resource Associates of Alaska, Cominco Exploration, Colony Pacific, Amselco, Kennecott Exploration, Houston Oil and Minerals, Westmin Resources, and the Olympic Resources Group. During the late 1980's and early 1990, there was considerable geochemical sampling in this area and a hole was drilled sometime before 1998 that was reported to intersect notable zinc values (Still and others (2002). In 1999, P. Beardslee of Petersburg drilled 9 shallow holes in the area that intersected thin bands of massive pyrite. Still and others (2002) found several outcrops in the thick vegetation that covers the area. One outcrop of iron-stained schist with 10 percent disseminated and banded pyrite did not contain significant metal values. However a sample with 0.4 feet of massive pyrite that was collected near a small landslide contained 1,023 parts per million zinc. Brew (1997) correlates the country rocks in this area with the Triassic Hyd Group which in the Duncan Canal area typically consists of felsic and intermediate flows and breccia, argillite, and minor limestone in the Duncan Canal area.
