| Relative position | The Sunrise is on the east side of Reid Inlet about 1 mile south of the mouth of the inlet at an elevation of about 800 feet. The deposit is uncertainly located. Claims were staked by Joe Ibach and Rex Beach in 1937 between the beach to at least 800 feet elevation. Rossman (1959, B 1058-B) reports a vein at about 700 feet elevation possibly traceable for several thousand feet in badly shattered sedimentary rock. The prospect is location number 26 of Cobb (1972). |
