Relative position | This site consists of three small occurrences of gossan in the vicinity of Khotol Mountain. They are informally called Khotol Ridge, Sunny Day, and Honkette. They share similar geologic characteristics and are a mile or so apart. The coordinates are for the approximate location of the Khotol Ridge gossan, at an elevation of 1900 feet on the northwest flank of hill 2047, a northeast-trending ridge of Khotol Mountain. It is in the NW1/4 sec. 23, T. 15 S., R. 5 E., Kateel River Meridian. This location is accurate within 2 miles. The Sunny Day gossan is 1.65 miles south-southwest of the Khotol Ridge gossan, and the Honkette gossan is 1.15 miles west-southwest of it. |
