Geology: The AEK prospect consists of iron-stained slate that contains thin quartz veins. Assays indicate barium and traces of silver (Redman and others, 1985). This prospect has been an active exploration target since 1880 (Wells and others, 1986). In 1980, over 200 claims covered the ridge near the divide between Prospect and Limestone Creeks. They were staked in a long narrow belt that parallels the NW-trending geologic structure of the area.
