Location: The Top prospect is in Section 23 at an elevation of about 1500 feet on the west side of Mineral Hill, 0.3 mile due west of its highest point (Maas and others, 1995, p. 254 and fig. 66). The location is accurate within about 0.1 mile.
Geology: The country rocks in the area of the Top prospect are pelitic metasedimentary and subordinate andesitic metavolcanic strata of the Jurassic or older Mesozoic Hazelton Group; the Triassic Texas Creek Granodiorite, which underlies and locally intrudes the Hazelton; and the Eocene Hyder Quartz Monzonite, which intrudes the Hazelton and Texas Creek rocks(Smith, 1977; Koch, 1996). According to Maas and others (1995, p. 254, 258), the deposit consists of disseminated and semi-massive pyrite, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite, and a quartz-sulfide vein. The deposit is hosted in Hazelton volcanic rocks and has been exposed for a length of about 450 feet. Maas and others (p. 254) suggest that this deposit is Jurassic in age, based on similarities in mineralogy, structural setting, and hostrock, to isotopically-dated Jurassic deposits elsewhere in the Hyder district (for example, see BC065, BC067). If so, the deposit is contemporaneous, at least in part, with island-arc volcanism in Hazelton time (Alldrick, 1993).
Workings: The deposit has been exposed by surface trenching for about 450 feet. Samples collected by the U.S. Bureau of Mines in 1992 or 1993 (Maas and others, 1995, p. 258) contain up to 48.03 ppm Au, 100.8 ppm Ag, and 10.3% Zn.
Age: Maas and others (1995, p. 254) suggest that this deposit is Jurassic in age, based on similarities in mineralogy, structural setting, and hostrock, to isotopically-dated Jurassic deposits elsewhere in the Hyder district (for example, see BC065, BC067). If so, the deposit is contemporaneous, at least in part, with island-arc volcanism in Hazelton time (Alldrick, 1993).
Alteration: Volcanic hostrocks are impregnated with sulfide minerals.

Commodities (Major) - Ag, Au, Zn
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Polymetallic veins
