Location: This occurrence is at an elevation of about 2,800 feet on the northwest flank of the Reindeer Hills. The map site is in the SE1/4 of sec. 22, T. 17 S., R. 7 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian. The location is accurate to within 1500 feet. This is location 8 of Clark and Cobb (1972).
Geology: The country rocks in the area of this occurrence are Lower Cretaceous to Upper Jurassic, monotonous, intensely deformed and locally highly metamorphosed turbidites. The occurrence consists of copper- and nickel-bearing sulfide minerals disseminated in the sedimentary rocks (Clark and Cobb, 1972).
Workings: There has been surface sampling only.
Age: The sulfide minerals may be syngenetic with their Lower Cretaceous to Upper Jurassic sedimentary host rocks.
Commodities (Major) - Cu, Ni
Development Status: None
Deposit Model: Besshi massive sulfide(?) (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 24b)
