Deposit | Model Name = Contact and porphyry mineralization, magnetite (Fe) skarn (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 18d). |
Deposit | Other Comments = Lenses are too small for development, but mineralization is widespread and better deposits could exist in the same system. The mineralized area is in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. |
