Location and accuracy | This site represents two occurrences at sea level on the southeast coast of Annette Island, about 1.5 miles south of the mouth of Kwain Bay. The occurrences are about 0.1 mile apart, in section 35, T. 78 S., R. 93 E., of the Copper River Meridian. The map site is approximately midway between the occurrences. The site corresponds to loc. 6 in Berg (1972 [I 684]), and loc. 38a, b in Karl (1992). The location is accurate within 0.1 mile. |
Geologic descriptionThe country rocks in the area of this site are undivided, metamorphosed Silurian and Ordovician volcanic, sedimentary, and intrusive rocks; and Silurian trondhjemite that intrudes the Silurian and Ordovician rocks (Berg, 1972, Berg and others, 1988). The rocks were regionally metamorphosed to greenschist-grade phyllite and semischist in Late Cretaceous time. The occurrences consist of veinlets and disseminations of magnetite in shear zones in sericitized granitic rocks and schist. A sample of altered granitic rock contained 150 ppm Co and 20 ppm Mo (Karl, 1992, loc. 38a, b). | |
