Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = The Round occurrence consists of an iron-stained quartz-epidote stockwork in hornfels of the Late Cretaceous Kuskokwim Group flysch (Bundtzen and Laird, 1983). The occurrence is poorly exposed and mainly observed in talus and rubble crop. No surface dimensions were measured, and its extent is unknown. Selected surface samples contain up to 5.43 grams/tonne silver and 99 ppm copper (Bundtzen and Laird, 1983).
