Location: Location plotted is locality HP73 of Meyer and Kurtak (1992, fig. 2), in T34N, R10E; in small drainage on east side of low hill about 1 mi (1.6 km) northwest of Kivliktort Mountain front and 3.7 mi (5.9 km) northwest of summit 4500 on Kivliktort Mountain; located to within 1 mi (1.6 km).
Geology: Sphalerite and minor galena occur as disseminated grains in silicified matrix and as fragments in sandstone breccia, and massive sphalerite occurs as fracture fillings in sandstone of the Shanin Lake member? of the Upper Devonian Kanayut Conglomerate; the breccias may be localized at the base of a thrust sheet over shale and siltstone of the Stuver member of the Kanayut.
Workings: Mineralized breccias are scattered over an area 2500 ft (762 m) by 4200 ft (1280 m); a high-grade sample contained up to 31.4% Zn, 0.49% Pb, and 5.9 oz/t Ag (Meyer and Kurtak, 1992, p. 57-72).
Commodities (Major) - Cu, Pb, Zn; (Minor) - Ag
Development Status: No
Deposit Model: Lode; sediment-hosted vein and breccia vein Pb-Zn-Ag.
