The Styx project was funded by the State of Alaska's Strategic and Critical Minerals Assessment project as part of the Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory program (AGGMI), and managed by the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). This project benefited from unpublished data and discussions with geologists of: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Western Alaska Range Project (WARP): Sue Karl, Steve Box, Jamey Jones, Erin Todd, Richard Lease, Garth Graham, Steve Nelson, and Peter Haeussler. Gamble provided an exceptional 1:250,000-scale base map for us to build on from his group's mapping in the 1980's. Insightful property tours, knowledge exchange, and geological data came from: Millrock Resources Inc. (Phil St. George, Kati Gibler), Kiska Metals Corp. (Mike Roberts), West Mountain Gold Inc. (Jim Baughman), and Alaska Earth Sciences (Rob Retherford and Bill Ellis). Argon dating and helpful discussions were conducted by the UAF Geophysical Lab with Jeff Benowitz and Paul Layer. Erin Todd provided isotope work for the Merrill Pass pluton, and valuable collaboration. Our lodging, food, and entertainment was provided by the Perrins Family of Rainy Pass Lodge. Thanks to Loren Leeuw for skilled flying during the field campaign, and to Rusts's Flying Service out of Anchorage for our safe delivery of people and camp supplies. We are grateful to Trish Ekberg and Mike Hendricks for their GIS, database, and cartographic support, and to Simone Montayne for metadata management. Kristen Janssen provided excellent manuscript formatting and layout. We thank Erin Todd and Steve Box for thorough reviews that improved the content and clarity of this report.
Styx River area geologic mapping work was implemented as part of an ongoing DGGS program to provide geologic mapping and supporting geochemical, petrologic, and geochronologic data to foster a better understanding of the area's geology and mineral potential.
