| Relative position | The Nothiger prospect is in the northeast corner of Section 24 at an elevation of about 2500 feet . It is on the steep west wall of the valley just below the foot of Casey Glacier (Elliott and Koch, 1981, p. 15, loc. 53). The location is probably accurate within a quarter of a mile.?
