| Location and accuracy | The occurrence is located in the SE1/4 section 1, T. 7 N., R. 8 E., of the Seward Meridian. It is situated on the east shore of West Twin Bay on the peninsula that separates West Twin Bay from East Twin Bay. This is location S-100 of Jansons and others (1984). This location is accurate to within a quarter of a mile. |
Geologic descriptionThe occurrence consists of a 40-foot-wide quartz stockwork zone in granite containing aplite dikes (Jansons and others, 1984). Tysdal and Case (1979) mapped the rocks in this area as Eocene granite and granodiorite. Some of the veins have been brecciated, and the surrounding granite is silicified. The U.S. Bureau of Mines collected samples from this prospect that contained as much as 99 ppm tungsten (Jansons and others, 1984). | |
