Location: The Vita occurrence is located approximately 1 1/2 miles southwest of the head of California Creek, in the center of the southern half of sec. 5, T. 29 S., R. 13 E. The location is accurate within 1000 feet. This occurrence is on Doyon, Ltd. conveyed lands.
Geology: The bedrock in the vicinity of the Vita occurrence consists of a thin feldspathic dike that intrudes Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. A rock sample collected in 1989 contained 250 ppb gold (Central Alaska Gold Company, unpublished company report, 1990, held by Doyon, Ltd.). Sixteen soil samples collected in 1990 assayed between 120 to 1070 ppb gold. The gold values appear to be confined to the margins of the thin dike.
Workings: A rock sample collected in 1989 contained 250 ppb gold (Central Alaska Gold Company, unpublished company report, 1990, held by Doyon, Ltd.). Sixteen soil samples collected in 1990 assayed between 120 to 1070 ppb gold.
Age: The age of mineralization is inferred to be Late Cretaceous or Early Tertiary, based on K-Ar and Ar/Ar dating of other granitic bodies in the southern portion of the Ophir quadrangle (Bundtzen and Miller, 1997).
