Geology and geochemistry at Kontrashibuna Lake, Lake Clark Region, southwestern Alaska
Eakins GR. 1970. Geology and geochemistry at Kontrashibuna Lake, Lake Clark Region, southwestern Alaska. Geochemical Report Series. 20. Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Mines and Geology
Mineralized areas are known in the Lake Clark region, but almost no production has resulted, partly because of difficult access and partly because of a lack of geologic information. A brief geologic and geochemical investigation was conducted areund the perimeter of Kontrashibuna Lake by the writer during the 1969 field season. A reconnaissance geologic map was made and 230 geochemical stream sediment and soil samples were collected. Several copper, lead, and zinc anomalies were found, four of which suggest more detailed work. Stream sediment and soil sampling along the drainage below the Kasna Creek copper deposit was conducted as a test of geochemical sampling procedures.
