Location and accuracy | This prospect is on the ridge crest between the head of Nikolai Creek and the Nizina River. It is at an elevation of about 5,700 feet, 7,000 feet north of elevation 5720 in the SW1/4 of section 35, T. 4 S., R. 15 E. of the Copper River Meridian. This is locality 76 of MacKevett (1976); the location is approximate, perhaps within a half mile. |
Geologic descriptionMacKevett (1976) identifies this locality as a prospect where diamond drilling tested subsurface geophysical anomalies in the early 1960s. The targets were copper deposits like those in the Kennecott mine area (MC093 for example). | |
