All names are taken from Alaska Mining Licenses. I Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of licenses issued to an individual, partnership, or company. In most cases, the licenses were issued automatically because two or more Annual Placer Mining Applications were submitted by the same operator. Only operators whose licenses were received by February 1, 1984, are listed. Note that a mining license is not required until actual production begins.

In addition, the Division shall collect, evaluate, and publish data on the underground, surface, and coastal waters of the state. It shall also acquire, process, and file data from well-drilling logs. DGGS performs numerous functions, all under the direction of the State Geologist-resource investi- gations (including mineral, petroleum, geothermal, and water), geologic-hazard and geochemical investi- gations, and information services.

This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Cultural Resource Programs of the National Park Service have responsibilities that include stewardship of historic buildings, museum collections, archeological sites, cultural landscapes, oral and written histories, and ethnographic resources. Our mission is to identify, evaluate and preserve the cultural resources of the park areas and to bring an understanding of these resources to the public. Congress has mandated that we preserve these resources because they are important components of our national and personal identity.

  • Precious Metals Associated with Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary Igneous Rocks of Southwestern Alaska
    - - - - ., ,! Economic Geology Monograph , 1997, pp- 242-286 Precious Metals Associated with Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary Igneous Rocks of Southwestern Alaska THOMAS K, BUNDTZEN Senior Economic Geologist, Alaska DepartrMnt of Natural Resources, Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys 794 University Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska 99709 AND MARTI L. MILLER Research Geologist, US. Geological Survey, 4200 University Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99508 Abstract Placer gold and precious metal-bearing lode deposits of southwestern Alaska lie within a region 550 by 350 km, herein referred to as the Kuskokwim mineral belt. This mineral belt has yielded 100 240 kg (3. Moz) of gold, 12 813 kg (412 000 oz) of silver, 1 377 412 kg (39 960 flasks) of mercury, and modest amounts of antimony and tungsten derived primarily from Late Cretaceous-early Tertiary igneous complexes of four major types: (1) alkali-calcic, comagmatic volcanic-plutonic complexes and isolated plutons, (2) calc-alkaline meta-aluminous reduced plutons, (3) peraluminous alaskite or granite-porphyry sills and dike swarms, and (4) andesite-rhyolite subaerial volcanic rocks. About 80 percent of the 77 to 52 Ma intrusive and volcanic rocks intrude or overlie the middle to Upper Cretaceous Kuskokwim Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks, as well as the Paleozoic-Mesozoic rocks of the Nixon Fork, Innoko, Goodnews, and Ruby preaccretionary terranes. The major precious metal-bearing deposit types related to Late Cretaceous-early Tertiary igneous complexes . of the Kuskokwim mineral belt are subdivided as follows: (1) plutonic-hosted copper-gold polymetallic stock- work, skarn, and vein deposits , (2) peraluminous granite-porphyry-hosted gold polymetallic deposits , (3) plutonic-related, boron-enriched silver-tin polymetallic breccia pipes and replacement deposits, (4) gold and silver mineralization in epithermal systems, and (5) gold polymetallic heavy mineral placer deposits.

  • A Resume of the History of Tin Mining in Alaska up to 1914
    By GEORGE L. HAKEINGTON. SUMMARY OF MINING OPERATIONS. t A resume of the history of tin mining in Alaska up to 1914 has been compiled by Eakin,1 and the following summary of operations up to that date is largely abstracted from his report. Stream tin was first found on Buhner Creek, a tributary of Ani- kovik River, in 1900, and there has been some production of cassit- erite. from placer operations in the York region since 1902. In 1911 a dredge was installed on Buck Creek which has been in operation each season since. Two dredges were installed on Anikovik River in 1914 for the recovery of both gold and cassiterite but were oper­ ated only during that and the following season. A second dredge was installed on Buck Creek in 1915 and has worked each summer since that date. The machinery of one of the dredges on Anikovik Eiver was removed from the hull in 1916 and installed on a dredge on Swanson Creek, a tributary of Agiapuk Eiver. The hull was carried out to sea by high water and lost. The other dredge on Ani­ kovik Eiver was idle in both 1916 and 1917. Collier states 2 that "small specimens of stream tin have been found in the northern part of Seward Peninsula, from Cape Prince of Wales to the south shore of Kotzebue Sound, and in the southern part of the peninsula the ore has been found in several streams of the Nome district." Hess mentions 3 that Goldbottom Creek in the Nome district, Fred Gulch, north of Mount Distin, Dick Creek, Old Glory, and a " few other creeks of the Arctic slope east of Ears Mountain carry some stream tin." Cassiterite lodes were discovered at Cape Mountain in 1902 and on Lost Eiver the following year.

Abstract Placer gold in the Iditarod and Innoko mining camps of western Alaska is derived from a suite of comagmatic, Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary, alkali-calcic, meta-aluminous, volcanic-plutonic complexes and peralumi- nous rhyolite sills that intrude Mesozoic flysch. Heavy-mineral concen- trates from 42 mining operations and streams draining known mineralized areas in the igneous complexes contain placer gold and a variety of ore minerals derived from epithermal to hypothermal conditions of formation. The minerals include cassiterite, ilmenorutile, samarskite, cinnabar, scheelite, chromite, stibnite, silver sulfosalts, monazite, and zircon. Results of the study show that 1) cinnabar, stibnite, and quartz formed with the bulk of the placer gold in an epithermal lode environment, 2) chromite appears to have originated in mafic phases of monzonite plutons and alkalic basalts, and 3) niobium-tin-tungsten-uranium-silver values may have been derived from stockwork accumulations in cupolas of monzonite plutons.
