| Deposit | Model Name = Placer Au-PGE (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a). |
| Deposit | Other Comments = Reed and others (1978) indicate that hydrothermally altered zones similar to those at Dollar Creek are observed along Thunder Creeks (TL032, TL058), at the headwaters of Treasure (TL030), Dutch (TL033) and Bear Creeks (TL017) and at an unnamed locality east of McDoel Peak (TL053). |
