Location: This occurrence is on the summit of Red Mountain. The location is probably accurate to within about 1/4 mile. It is locality 8 of Cobb (1972, [MF 362]; 1980 [OF 80-909]).
Geology: Mertie (1969, p. 84) reported that the heavy mineral concentrate from a sample of residual surface material at this location contained platinum. The residual surface material rests on dunite of the composite Red Mountain ultramafic pluton and upslope to the northwest of a large platinum-in-soil anomaly over this pluton (HG006).
Workings: No workings are present. The area has been included in soil geochemical surveys, and both gravity and aeromagnetic surveys have been completed over the Red Mountain pluton (Alaska Earth Sciences, 2000).
Age: Holocene.
Commodities (Major) - Pt
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Placer PGE-Au; residual (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 9b)
