| Location and accuracy | The Endy prospect is at an elevation of about 2,700 feet, approximately 2.5 miles south of Mt. Young and 1 mile north of the Endicott River. It is in the NE1/4 section 21, T. 35 S., R. 59 E. of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate within 1/2 mile. |
Geologic descriptionThe area is underlain by deformed and metamorphosed Silurian or Devonian carbonate, clastic and volcanic clastic rocks that have been intruded by Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous granitic and dioritic rocks (Brew and others, 1992). Brew and Ford (1985) describe the rocks in the area of this occurrence as predominantly Devonian and Silurian greenstone, greenschist, limestone and graywacke intruded by Cretaceous biotite-hornblende granodiorite. The U.S. Bureau of Mines collected samples of rhyolite, pyritic tuff, and metatuff from the Endy prospect. A rhyolite sample contained 0.21 ppm gold, 270 ppm copper, 930 ppm chromium, and 330 ppm arsenic. A sample of a quartz vein contained 1,400 ppm copper. The deposit was discovered by St. Joseph Mining Co. in 1974, who interpreted it as a stratiform massive sulfide deposit (Clough and Redman, 1989). | |
