Eastern Tanacross

Project Details

Project ID:
1588
Nickname/Abbreviation:
Eastern Tanacross
Parent Project:
Earth Mapping Resources Initiative
Status:
Active
Description:
The Eastern Tanacross project will complete a 1:100,000 scale bedrock geologic map of a 1900 square mile area of the eastern Tanacross Quadrangle and part of the Nabsena Quadrangle. It is funded through the USGS Earth MRI program and targets an area of Alaska prospective for rare earth elements, other critical minerals, and conventional minerals including gold, copper, molybdenum, and silver.
