Mineral Resources of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Corridor.

PB233208

Publication Date	1974
Personal Author	Mulligan, J. J.
Page Count	65
Abstract	Reports of mineral deposits within 10 miles of the route of the proposed pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez were investigated. No producing lode deposits or lode prospects of possible national economic significance were found. Measured placer deposits crossed by the pipeline are of slight value except possibly some deeply buried gold-placer deposits in the Fairbanks and Livengood Quadrangles. The pipeline corridor crosses five belts of minerals haveing potential economic value: (1) The north slope (oil, gas, oil shale, coal, phosphate); (2) the south slope of the Brooks Range (copper, gold); (3) the Livengood area (gold); (4) the Fairbanks are (gold, lead-silver, antimony); and (5) the Wrangell Mountains-Denali Copper Belt (copper-gold). The Jarvis Creek coal deposit, an eastern extension of the Nenana coalfield, is on the north side of this belt.
