Relative position | This occurrence is in upper Wachusett Inlet, about 3 miles below the head of the inlet. The occurrence is on the shore line on the east side of the inlet. The location is accurate within 0.1 mile.? Most of the slope above the deposit is covered by Plateau Glacier or its morainal deposits. The occurrence is about 2 miles south-southwest of the Bruce Hills copper-molybdenum deposit (MF037). The location of the prospect is shown on an inset to figure C64 (Kimball and others, 1978). It is incorrectly located by Cobb (1972) and by MacKevett and others (1971). |
