Location and accuracy	This prospect is at an elevation of about 300 feet, approximately 2.0 miles east-northeast of Funter, at the head of Funter Bay. It is near the southeast corner of section 31, T. 41 S., R. 65 E. of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate within 1/4 mile.

Geologic setting

Geologic description The rocks in the general area are mainly Ordovician and Devonian to Triassic clastic units, mafic-intermediate volcanic rocks, and subordinate limestone. The bedded rocks are intruded and locally metamorphosed by Cretaceous granodiorite (Gehrels and Berg, 1994). Wells and others (1986) show a copper-lead-zinc lode claim at this site which was active in 1908. No other information is available.
