| Location and accuracy | This site is located on the south shore of southeastern Unga island about 2.5 miles south-southeast of Apollo Mountain (Christie, 1974, color anomaly 80). The locality is accurate to within 1 mile. |
Geologic descriptionThis site represents a color anomaly that covers an area of 1 by 2 miles (Christie, 1974, anomaly 80). Within the anomaly Christie noted diorite and argillically altered volcanic rock containing as much as 20 percent disseminated pyrite. Samples of the volcanic rock contained as much as 0.01 ppm gold, 1.8 ppm silver, 48 ppm copper, 55 ppm zinc, and 1.6 ppm molybdenum. The rocks are mapped as the Eocene to Oligocene Popof volcanic rocks (Wilson and others, 1995). | |
