Evidence from mineral occurrences None.
Geochemical evidence None.
Geophysical evidence No data.
Evidence from other sources Prospectivity analyses conducted by Karl and others (2021) show large areas of this region containing HUC's with medium to high prospectivity with medium to high certainty.
Cover thickness and description No cover to unknown cover depths.
Authors Douglas C. Kreiner, James V. Jones III, Melanie B. Werdon.
New data needs New mapping, geophysics, updated geochemical sampling.
Geologic mapping and modeling needs Mapping at 1:100,000 scale or better.
Geophysical survey and modeling needs Aeromagnetic and radiometrics collected at Rank 2.
Digital elevation data needs IfSAR coverage is complete over entire focus area.
