Stephanie Foggia ably assisted all three geologists during the numerous field traverses completed in the study area. We especially thank the employees of Rosander Mining Company for providing warm hospitality and useful geologic discussions during our investigations. James Barker from Northwest Land Resources Inc. provided stimulating discussions about the region's polymetallic lode and placer gold deposits. Kinney Engineering, LLC staff used scanned and georeferenced paper maps to digitize geologic features into an AK GeMS database. Chris Wyatt conducted quality control of this digitizing work and completed the creation of the AK GeMS database. Ally M. Steinleitner implemented final database quality control and packaging. This geologic map (or report or conversion or product, etc.) was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under STATEMAP award number G23AC00584, 2023, and the State of Alaska General Fund.

DGGS conducted geologic mapping in the Ophir C-1 and western Medfra C-6 quadrangles of western Alaska to improve understanding of the region's mineral resource potential. By documenting bedrock units, structural features, and mineralized zones, they aimed to identify geologic controls on gold-bearing deposits and support future exploration in the Innoko Mining District.
