Location: The location is the site of a conglomerate described by Weber and Foster (1982). Little Albert Creek drainage is on the southern side of the East Crazy Mountains and joins Albert Creek approximately 4 miles northwest of Central.
Geology: Several small colors of gold were panned from two samples of pink, sandy conglomerate of possible Tertiary age. The sandy conglomerate is poorly to moderately sorted, locally pink or orange-brown, with well-rounded clasts that are generally 1-5 cm in diameter. Some boulders are up to 45 cm in diameter. A pebble count of 100 clasts resulted in 44 quartzite, 37 quartz, 9 weathered schistose quartzite, and 10 chert (Weber and Foster, 1982).
Workings: Surface samples taken.
