Location: The occurrence is located on the ridge southeast of Godwin Glacier and at an elevation of 2,700 feet. It is in the NE1/4 section 10, T. 1 S., R. 1 E., of the Seward Meridian. This is location 93 of Cobb and Tysdal (1980) and location S-194 of Jansons and others (1984). This location is accurate to within a quarter of a mile.
Geology: Grant and Higgins (1909) examined hand samples from a massive sulfide vein, as much as 9 feet wide at this site. The vein contains malachite, azurite, and chalcopyrite in a heavily iron-stained gossan. Bedrock in this area is undivided sedimentary rock of the Valdez Group of Late Cretaceous age (Nelson and others, 1985).
Workings: No workings, improvements, or assay results are reported in the literature.
Age: Cretaceous or younger; the vein cuts rocks of the Valdez Group of Late Cretaceous age.
Commodities (Major) - Cu
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Cyprus massive sulfide (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 24a)
