Introduction

This report was prepared as a supplement to a 1975 report which sum-
marized data on mineral occurrences 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 reference 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 new or rewritten summaries where appropriate. For each
occurrence described in Part A, the name, U.S. Bureau of Mines mining dis-
trict, reference (if any) that has the occurrence plotted on a map at a
scale of 1:250,000, list of mineral commodities, and location data are in
the same format as in the 1975 report. This report does not include refer-
ences to bentonite because it is so widespread in rocks of Cretaceous age
north of the Brooks Range that including the few occurrences for which
there are specific data would give a false impression of scarcity. Data
on mineral occurrences in the Ambler River, Philip Smith Mountains, and
Survey Pass quadrangles have been or will be released in separate reports.
The only commodity listed in the 1975 report in the Umiat quadrangle is
bentonite, so that quadrangle does not appear in this report. Also in-
cluded at the end of Part A are updated lists of synonyms, owners, opera-—
tors, 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:

B U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin

c U.S. Geological Survey 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

TDM Alaska Territorial Department of Mines Pamphlet

USBM OF U.S. Bureau of Mines Open-File Report

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

The following seven 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 min-
eral was identified or if the report is based solely on an analysis of a
sample collected during a geochemical survey. Most specific data are also
