Relative position | The Fishhook prospect covers an area of approximately 2 square miles. It is location 7 of Eberlein and others (1977). It is located to the west of the Fishhook Bend of the Sixtymile River. Accessibility is limited; the Taylor highway passes about 24 miles west of the prospect. However, rough overland access is available from Canada (Curt Freeman, unpublished data, 1998). The coordinates are for the approximate center of the claim block, but the center of mineralization and prospecting could be elsewhere within the claim block. The location is accurate to within 1 mile. |
