Location and accuracy | This prospect is at an elevation of about 2,200 feet, about 1.25 miles east-southeast of the summit of Seven Sisters. It is in the NE1/4NW1/4 sec. 8, T. 9 S., R. 29 W., Seward Meridian. The site, which is locality 30 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977), is accurate within about 1 mile. |
Geologic descriptionThis prospect appears to be in a batholith of Jurassic, medium- to coarse-grained quartz diorite, east of an outcrop area of Tertiary basalt and andesite on the Seven Sisters (Detterman and Reed, 1980). The batholith locally contains diorite and granodiorite phases, and includes roof pendants of metamorphic rocks. Lode claims, probably for iron, were staked at this site (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1973; MacKevett and Holloway, 1977). The deposit probably consists of disseminations and veinlets of magnetite in relatively mafic phases of the batholith. | |
