| Deposit | Model Name = Porphyry Cu or Polymetallic vein (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 17 or 22c) |
| Deposit | Other Comments = Older descriptions are of questionable reliability. Locality 4 of Cobb (1972) probably the same as locality 3 of MacKevett and Holloway (1977), the Thompson claims. Site is in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. |
| Deposit | Reference point located near Thompson AG-PB-ZN claims. AU-MO occurrences nearby. Gleason Prospect (B542) assumed to be in the same area as the Thompson prospects. |
