Comments on the location information

  • If this is the deposit in T23N, R98W on CR-2, it is mislocated about 6 km too far north. ABW suspects that this is NOT the deposit shown on CR-2 and therefore moved it 775 m WNW to scraped area visible on satellite imagery. CR-2 remains a reference, but it is not the source of this record.
