| Location and accuracy | The occurrence is approximately located about a half mile northwest of the Quarry prospect (NM135) on the west slope of hill 1205; it is about 0.6 mile northeast of the Nome-Teller road at an elevation of about 1,100 feet. This location is Kardex site Kx 52-250 of Heiner and Porter (1972); its accuracy is not known. |
Geologic descriptionA single claim located for iron was reported in 1927 for Maximoff and G. Victor (Heiner and Porter, 1972). There are no other data on the occurrence. It is inferred to be an iron oxide deposit similar to the Cub Bear prospect (NM133) which is apparently about a half mile east-northeast of this occurrence. | |

|---|---|
| Mineral deposit model | Iron oxide veins and replacement of marble and schist? |
| Age of mineralization | Probably post mid-Cretaceous, the age of bedrock metamorphism in the area. |
| Workings or exploration | One patented claim in 1927 was reported for this location (Heiner and Porter, 1972). Activity at the claim was reported until 1965 (Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, 1982). Surface prospecting pits are probably present. |
