Location: This occurrence is at an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet. It is about 0.5 miles north of Peak 6725 on the northern boundary of Glacier Bay National Monument and 6.4 miles, N74W from the summit of Mount Krause. It is shown as location 10 of Cobb (1972 [MF 424]) and location BD 548 of Winkler and MacKevett (1970).
Geology: Samples BD 548A and BD 548B of Winkler and MacKevett (1970) are described as 'Biotite granodiorite (?) with molybdenite disseminations'. Sample BD 548B contained 15 ppm Mo. The Cretaceous age of the host intrusive (Gilbert, 1988) establishes a maximum age for the deposit.
Age: The age is Cretaceous or younger, based upon the age of the host intrusive (Gilbert, 1988).

Commodities (Major) - Mo
Development Status: No
Deposit Model: This is only an occurrence and there is very little information on it. The mine
