Location: Approximate location is 4 mi (6.4 km) northwest of Belkofski Point; anomaly no. 61 of Christie (1974).
Geology: Christie (1974) reports a 3,000 by 3,000+ ft (900 by 900+ m), elongate to the northeast, color anomaly in volcanic rocks, mainly breccia and flows(?). His interpretation was that alteration was solfataric. No signs of fracture-controlled mineralization, epidote, or intrusive rocks.
Workings: Brief reconnaissance geologic mapping and collection of a few silt samples reported by Christie (1974). Silver to 1.4 ppm and zinc to 99 ppm; otherwise background levels for copper, molybdenum, and gold.
Age: Pliocene or younger
Alteration: Possibly propylitic, based on presence of chlorite. Bleaching reported. Possible silicification? Solfataric(?).
