| Deposit | Model Name = Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a) |
| Deposit | Other Comments = The association of stream sediment samples with anomalous gold and molybdenum near the elongate diorite pluton suggests that the intrusive and its contacts should be prospected for lode occurrences of gold and other metals. |
