Location: Location plotted is locality HP79 of Meyer and Kurtak (1992, fig. 2), in T33N, R10E; near the head of a small, east-flowing tributary of Nigu River at southeast end of Kivliktort Mountain, 2.5 (4 km) southeast of summit 4500; located to within 2000 ft (610 m).
Geology: Sulfide minerals and malachite occur in quartz veinlets and breccia in sandstone of Upper Devonian Kanayut Conglomerate, possibly at the base of a thrust sheet overriding black, carbonaceous and locally pyritiferous siltstone and shale of the Lower Mississippian Kayak Shale.
Workings: Mineralization is confined to a 20 ft (6.1 m) by 50 ft (15.2 m) area; a high-grade sample contained 4.31% Pb, 0.12% Zn, and 2.4 oz/t Ag (Meyer and Kurtak, 1992, p. 46-60).
Commodities (Major) - Pb, Zn; (Minor) - Ag, Cu
Development Status: No
Deposit Model: Lode; sediment-hosted vein and breccia vein Pb-Zn-Ag.
