Deposit | Model Name = Polymetallic veins |
Deposit | Other Comments = Prospect could not be located 1972-1973. ? Some records link the Silver King and Marietta (BC026) claims, but the Silver King prospect is at a lower elevation and farther south (Berg and others, 1977, p. 39, 77).? Site is in Misty Fiords National Monument. |
