Mount Hecht, Ernie Lake-no known past production. |
Evidence from mineral occurrences |
ARDF occurrences. |
Geochemical evidence |
Anomalous HUC's for Sn, W, Ta, and other pathfinder elements. |
Geophysical evidence |
No data. |
Evidence from other sources |
High prospectivity determination based on Karl and others, 2016. |

New data needs |
New mapping, geophysics, and updated geochemical sampling. |
Geologic mapping and modeling needs |
Mapping at 1:100,000 scale or better. |
Geophysical survey and modeling needs |
Aeromagnetics and radiometrics collected at Rank 2. |
Digital elevation data needs |
IfSAR coverage is complete over entire focus area. |
