Location and accuracy	The Baldy Mountain prospect is at an elevation of approximately 2,800 feet on the north flank of a 3,770-foot high peak, locally called Baldy Mountain, It is at about the center of section 15, T. 43 S., R. 66 E. of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate.

Geologic setting

Geologic description Lode gold claims were active at this site in 1976; Wells and others (1986) call it the Baldy Mountain prospect, and Alaska Kardex file 112-160 shows a silver, lead, zinc claim here. 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).
