Commodity type Metallic
Deposit size Small
Significant No
Discovery year 1942

Mining district

District name Fairbanks

Comments on development

  • DEPOSIT DISCOVERED IN THE SUMMER OF 1942 IN A PLACER CUT ON WILLOW CR. EXPLORED BY OPEN CUT AND SHAFT SUNK ON VEIN. A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF WORK WOULD DETERMINE IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT ORE TO MAKE MINING WORTH WHILE.
