Introduction

This report was prepared as a supplement to a 1975 report which sum-
marized data on mineral occurrences in the Ambler River and other quad-
rangles in northern Alaska (Cobb, E. H., 1975, Summary of references to
mineral occurrences (other than mineral fuels and construction materials)
in northern Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 75-628, 106 p.).
As a result of suggestions from users of the series of which the 1975 report
is a part, this supplement is released in two parts: Part A, which presents
summaries of data to January 1, 1981, and Part B, which consists of refer-
ence lists for each occurrence.

In Part A data from most reports released between the cut-off date
(January 1, 1975) for the original report and January 1, 1981, have been
incorporated in rewritten or new summaries where appropriate. For each
occurrence described in Part A the name, U.S. Bureau of Mines mining dis-
trict, reference that has the occurrence plotted on a map, list of mineral
commodities, and location data are in the same format as in the 1975 report.
Also included is an updated list of synonyms, owner, operator, and claim
names.

In both parts citations are in standard bibliographic format with the
exception that references to reports and maps in numbered publication series
also show, in parentheses, an abbreviation for the report or map series and
the number of the report or map. Abbreviations used are:

AOF Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys

B U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin

c U.S. Geological Survey Circular

GR Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys
(and predecessor State agencies) Geologic Report

Ic U.S. Bureau of Mines Information Circular

oF U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report

MF U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Field Studies Map

P U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper

RI U.S. Bureau of Mines Report of Investigations

TDM Alaska Territorial Department of Mines Pamphlet

In Part B citations to the principal references used in preparing
summaries in Part A are preceded by an asterisk. The form of citation
used in the reference list for each occurrence is considered sufficient
identification for each numbered report or map to be found easily in most
libraries. Complete references to reports without identifying numbers are
listed at the end of Part B.

The following five U.S. Bureau of Mines Open-File Reports were not
used in preparing this supplement, because descriptions of most occurrences
are not sufficiently detailed to allow evaluation of deposits. In many
descriptions it is not possible to determine if a potentially valuable
