The Ladue River-Mount Fairplay area, Tanacross and Nabesna quadrangles, Alaska is identified by DGGS and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) staff as having the potential to host deposits of critical minerals, including rare earth elements (REE), uranium, niobium, zirconium, tin, tungsten, bismuth, and rhenium, as well as conventional mineral resources including gold, copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc, and silver. This map and accompanying report provide the modern geologic mapping and supporting data to promote mineral discovery in eastern Interior Alaska.
