Identification information

Deposit ID 10307906
Record type Site
Current site name Livingston Creek

Geographic coordinates

Geographic coordinates: -166.10931, 64.82027 (WGS84)
Relative position Livingston Creek is a southeast tributary of the Feather River. It joins the Feather River about 2 miles west of the Nome-Teller road. The creek has had placer mining claims over its lower 3 miles (Heiner and Porter, 1972, p. 162). The location given is the approximate mid-point of the portion of the creek where claims were staked.

Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = Livingston Creek has had placer mining claims over its lower 3 miles (Heiner and Porter, 1972, p. 162). The creek mostly flows over glacial deposits derived from the Kigluaik Mountains (Sainsbury, Smith, and Kachadoorian, 1972). Any placer gold deposits that are present are probably reworked glacial deposits.
  • Age = Holocene.

Economic information about the deposit and operations

Development status Past Producer

Comments on exploration

  • Status = Probably inactive

Mining district

District name Nome

Comments on the workings information

  • Workings / Exploration = Some exploration probably accompanied the staking of placer mining claims on the creek.
