| Location and accuracy | The J-26 prospect encompasses about 4 square miles on a hilltop, in sections 4 and 5, T. 25 N., R. 11 E., of the Copper River Meridian and sections 32 and 33, T. 26 N., R. 11 E., of the Copper River Meridian. The location is accurate, and the coordinates given in the fields above correspond to the approximate center of the prospect. |
Geologic descriptionJ-26 is a porphyry molybdenum prospect within a rhyolite porphyry; it is located near the margin of a propylitized, medium-grained, biotite- and hornblende-bearing, quartz monzonite stock. Nearby pelitic schist, calc-silicate schist, and marble have been recrystallized to hornfels, calc-silicate tactite and garnet-pyroxene skarn. There are numerous Tertiary (?) mafic and felsic dikes, as well as quartz veins. Alteration at the prospect consists of widespread propylitic alteration, localized silica alteration, and skarn (DiMarchi and others, 1989). The general geology consists of Tertiary felsic volcanics surrounded by Mesozoic granitic rocks (Foster, 1970). The property has been soil sampled. Elements listed above as commodities were found in anomalous concentrations in soil samples (Doyon Ltd., 1998). | |
