Deposit | Model Name = Lode: vein |
Deposit | Other Comments = A number of small gold-bearing quartz-pyrite lodes occur in mineralized volcanic country rock (Chisana Formation of Cretaceous age) on the n side of Chathenda Creek. By 1940 a large group of claims had been staked but apparently none were successful in locating ore quality material |
