ABSTRACT 

In 2005 and 2006 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) investigators surveyed, mapped, or 

sampled 24 mineral occurrences in the Admiralty Island Mining District in Southeast Alaska. 

The BLM collected and analyzed 109 rock chip, pan concentrate, and stream sediment 

samples during the investigation. 

This report comprises mainly the results of geochemical analysis of samples collected by the 

BLM during the mineral assessment of the Admiralty Island district. The results represent an 

abbreviated mineral assessment of the district due to the elimination of the Alaska Minerals 

Program. 

BLM investigators concentrated their investigation on the Triassic belt of rocks on the eastern 

side of Admiralty Island, which holds the potential for hosting VHMS-type occurrences 

similar to the Kennecott Greens Creek Mine. The most prospective parts of the Triassic belt, 

as suggested by geochemical studies by the USGS and State of Alaska, are the upper 

Seymore Canal area and Gambier Bay. Most of the BLM sampling was focused on these 

areas.

Introduction 

 In 2005 and 2006 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) investigators surveyed, mapped, or 

sampled 24 mineral occurrences in the Admiralty Island Mining District, which comprises 

Admiralty Island, in Southeast Alaska (Plate 1). The BLM collected and analyzed 109 rock 

chip, pan concentrate, and stream sediment samples during the investigation. 

The BLM began the mineral assessment of the Admiralty Island district at the behest of the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Assessment of the Admiralty Island Mining 

District would complete the mineral assessments of all mining districts in Southeast Alaska. 

The assessments were completed either by the former U.S. Bureau of Mines or the BLM. 

These assessments include the Juneau Mining District (___), Ketchikan Mining District 

(Maas and others, 1995), Chichagof-Baranof islands area (Bittenbender and others, 1999), 

and the Stikine area (Still and others, 2002). 

This report presents the results of an abbreviated mineral assessment of the Admiralty Island 

Mining District. The assessment was cut short due to the termination of the Alaska Minerals 

Program. 

Most of Admiralty Island is managed as a National Monument by the Forest Service and is 

closed to mineral entry. Only the northern part of the island, the Mansfield Peninsula area is 

open to claim staking and mineral development. 

Table 1 presents analytical results from a commercial laboratory for samples collected during 

the course of the BLM’s mineral assessment of the district in 2005 and 2006. 

Acknowledgments 

The author would like to thank the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service for their 

help in permitting access to the national monument parts of the Admiralty Island Mining 

District. Thanks in particular go to Cathy Rodriquez, Jeff DeFreest, and John Kato. 

I would also like to thank Buddy Dore, captain of the motor vessel Shenandoah for his able 

seamanship. Buddy transported and lodged BLM field crews in 2005 and 2006 with great 

accommodation and high spirits. 

Thanks are also extended to Soapy Lingle of Juneau, who loaned BLM investigators his uncle 

Stan Price’s prospecting notes from 1958 to 1959. These notes provided unique insight to 

mineral occurrences in the Pack Creek area. 

The author thanks Jerry Kouzes, BLM- State Office, for producing of Plate 1.

Bureau Investigations 

BLM investigators spent approximately 16 days in the field in 2005 and 10 days in 2006. 

Most of this time was supported by a charter boat contract that allowed investigators access to 

properties along, and close to, the shoreline. Much of the charter boat time was spent in the 

Seymore Canal area, particularly along the eastern shore, from Windfall Harbor southward to 

Pleasant Bay. Additional investigations were concentrated around Gambier Bay. 

BLM investigators concentrated their mineral assessment on the Triassic belt of rocks on the 

eastern side of Admiralty Island. This belt holds the potential for hosting VHMS-type 

occurrences similar to the Kennecott Greens Creek Mine on the northwest side of the island. 

The most prospective parts of the Triassic belt are suggested by anomalous geochemical 

samples that USGS and State of Alaska investigators delineated in prior geochemical 

evaluations on the island (e.g., Kelly, 1990; Taylor and others, 1992; Herbert and Race, 1964, 

1965; Race and Rose, 1967). 

In addition, the BLM examined parts of the Triassic belt on the northeast side of the island 

following up on field notes from a prospector who worked from a homesite on Pack Creek 

during the 1950’s to 1980’s. The notes available to the BLM are from 1958 and 1959. The 

‘discovery’ of one mineral occurrence is attributed to follow-up of these notes, that of the 

“1/2 mile SE Staunch Point” occurrence. 

BLM investigators located the Murder Cove coal prospect. This site was located by 

following up coal float in the creek that empties into the head of Murder Cove. Prior to the 

BLM’s investigation, the prospect was apparently last visited in 1905 (Wright, 1906). An 

attempt to locate the site in the 1950’s failed (Williams, 1951).

Analytical Results 

Sampling and analytical procedures 

Sampling methods 

BLM personnel collected rock chip and stream sediment samples to evaluate mineral 

occurrences and to conduct reconnaissance investigations in the Admiralty Island Mining 

District. Several types of rock chip samples were collected. Continuous chip samples are 

chips of rock taken in a continuous line across an exposure. Representative chip samples 

are discontinuous chips of rock taken across an exposure. Spaced chip samples are chips of 

rock taken at a specified interval across an exposure. Grab samples are rock chips or 

fragments taken more or less at random from an outcrop, float, or mine dump. Select

samples are rock chips collected from the highest-grade parts of a mineralized zone. 

Stream sediment samples were collected to detect anomalous metal values that may indicate 

the presence of mineralized rock in an area. Stream sediment samples are collections of silt 

and clay-sized particles taken from a stream bed. 

Analytical and sample data are presented in Table 1. In addition to the analytical results, the 

following information is listed in the table: map number, sample number, sample site, sample 

type, sampling method, and sample size. The results are organized in the tables by map 

number, as presented on plate 1.

Sampling method (Rock Chip):

C continuous chip 

G grab

Sample size: Sample sizes are given in feet. The sizes of spaced chip samples (SC) are given 

by the overall size of the sample followed by the sample spacing or interval (e.g., “10 @ 0.5” 

means rock chips were collected every 0.5 feet over a 10-foot length). 

Sample sites:

FL float (original source of rock unknown) 

MD mine dump 

OC outcrop 

RC rubblecrop (source of rock known) 

TP trench, pit, or cut 

Analytical methods 

All analyses were conducted by a commercial laboratory. Rock samples were dried, crushed 

to a minus 10 mesh, split and pulverized to minus 200 mesh. Stream sediment samples were 

dried and sieved to a minus 80 mesh. Pan concentrate samples were pulverized to minus 200 

mesh. The magnetic and non-magnetic fractions from placer and sluice concentrate samples 

are treated by the laboratory like rock samples and are pulverized to minus 200 mesh. 

For samples analyzed by inductively coupled argon plasma (ICP) and atomic absorption 

spectroscopy (AA), a 0.5-gram sample was dissolved in aqua regia for measurement. 

Samples were analyzed for gold, platinum and palladium by fire assay pre-concentration of a 

30-gram sample followed by an ICP-atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) finish with results 

reported in parts per billion. 

The remaining elements were analyzed by ICP with results reported as either parts per million 

or percent. In most instances, when the results of samples analyzed by this method exceeded 

the upper detection limits, the samples were not reanalyzed, but results were reported as being 

greater than the corresponding upper detection limit.
