We would like to thank Sean P. Regan and Melanie B. Werdon for thorough and constructive reviews of the geologic maps and accompanying map unit descriptions in this pamphlet. We gratefully acknowledge Doyon, Limited for access to its lands within the study area. Work in the Richardson Mining District benefited greatly from reports and information generated by exploration companies, current and former, that have worked in the area over the past three decades. In particular, we acknowledge the assistance of Dennis McDowell and Great American Minerals Exploration, Inc. (GAME), Peter Grieve and Koza Limited, Bill Cronk and Northern Empire Resources Corp., Phil St. George and Millrock Resources, and David Wright of Aurora Resource Exploration. This project was jointly funded by the State of Alaska and the U.S. Geological Survey Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) through cooperative agreement G22AC00288. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Geological Survey. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey Conner Truskowski compiled the data into into the GeMS format and provided cartographic support. Ally M. Steinleitner quality controlled, and then finalized the GeMS database.
The Mount Harper bedrock geologic map seeks to understand the geologic framework of known mineralization, facilitate the exploration and discovery of new mineral resources, and advance scientific understanding of the YTU - one of Alaska's most dynamic and economically significant mineral belts. While gold exploration has been the primary focus in this area for several decades, its potential to host critical minerals such as antimony, bismuth, tellurium, and tungsten further elevates its importance.
