Southeastern Alaska, comprising about seven percent of the area of the State, has produced about 17 percent of its metals. Although the area is widely mineralized, few parts have been prospected. Geochemical testing of stream sediments with available geologic information should prove useful to prospectors. Of the 12 areas investigated, five are recommended for further prospecting: Skagway; William Henry Bay; and Mansfield Peninsula, Gambier Bay, and Pybus Bay on Admiralty Island. For each of the 12 areas, the geology, previous work, geochemical investigation and prospecting are summarized; analyses are tabulated; samples are shown on sketch maps.
