    DEPARTKENT OF THE INTERIOR UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OCCURRENCES OF TUNGSTEN MINERALS IN ALASKA Compiled by Edward B. Cobb Open-File Report 82-785 1982 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards. REFERENCE LIST The following references give data, as of May 1, 1982, on localities where tungsten minerals have been found in Alaska. References are keyed by number to locations shown on the accompanying map. An asterisk (*) preceding a locality name indicates recorded production. Localities 93-161 (in the Tanacross quadrangle) and 183-197 (in the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles) are the sites of samples collected during geochemical investigations that were part of the Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program (AMRAP). Tungsten minerals were identified during microscopic study of the nonmagnetic fractions of the heavy-mineral concentrates of samples from these localities. In most instances the report(s) cited for each occurrence is a summary of data in older reports and was compiled since 1975. Most of the summary reports contain lists of the reports used in their compilation. Citations are in standard bibliographic format with the exception that each includes, in parentheses, an abbreviation for the report or map series and the number of the report or map.

These three refuges are administered collectively as the Koyukuk/Nowitna Refuge Complex. Narrative items common to all three units are discussed in the Koyukuk and Northern Unit of Innoko report. Any additional events are reported in respective sections. The Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in west central Alaska, about 270 air miles west of Fairbanks and 330 air miles northwest of Anchorage. The exterior boundaries encompass 4.6 million acres. This refuge lies within the roughly circular floodplain basin of the Koyukuk River. The extensive forested floodplain is surrounded by hills 1500' - 4000' to the north, east, and west, and the Yukon River to the south. The Koyukuk NWR was established December 2, 1980 with passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The refuge was established and is managed for the following purposes: 1. To conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity including, but not limited to, waterfowl and other migratory birds, moose, caribou, furbearers and salmon; 2.
