Northeastern Tanacross geologic map, Tanacross D-1, D-2, C-1, and C-2 quadrangles, Alaska

Description

The Mineral Resources section of the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) conducted 500 mi2 of 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping in the northeastern Tanacross Quadrangle (Tanacross D-1, and parts of the C-1, C-2, and D-2 quadrangles), located 15 miles southeast of Chicken, Alaska. The project took place during two periods: a reconnaissance mapping effort June 12-22, 2017, and a detailed campaign from June 18 to July 16, 2018. This map is located within an area of current industry interest; it includes the Taurus porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum +/- rhenium deposit and several other occurrence types, including gold, copper, and molybdenum in porphyritic intrusions, structurally controlled silver-lead-zinc prospects, and placer gold deposits. This map includes unconsolidated surficial deposits in the Tanacross D-1 Quadrangle, the eastern one-third of the Tanacross D-2 Quadrangle, the northern half of the Tanacross B-2 Quadrangle and the northeastern one-third of the Tanacross B-2 Quadrangle. Surficial geology was primarily mapped by interpreting 2.5-m-resolution SPOT 5 color-infrared and natural color red-green-blue (RGB) imagery collected in 2009 and 2010 and stereoscopic pairs of approximately 1:65,000-scale, false-color, infrared aerial photographs taken in 1978 and 1981. Surficial mapping was augmented with helicopter-supported fieldwork June 20-23, 2017 and July 3-4, 2018 to visit exposures and check geologic mapping.
