The samples described in this report were selected and analyzed to improve our understanding of the geology and structural history of the Wrangellia Mineral Assessment project area. A metagabbro rock sample returned a Late Triassic crystallization age consistent with regional ages for Nikolai Greenstone-related magmatism; however, the two amphibole separates ages do not overlap, and have larger errors than expected due to alteration. An Early Cretaceous age obtained on a syenogranite pluton could correspond to similar ages of an Early Cretaceous porphyry event within the Grubstake Cu-Au porphyry system, Slana Region. Finally, we obtained Oligocene ages for a dacitic dike and a schist; the schist age constrains the timing of displacement on a thrust fault in the area. Analyses were performed by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Geochronology Laboratory, and results were reported by Jeff Benowitz and Paul Layer. Products included in this data release are a summary of sample collection methods, the laboratory report, analytical data tables and associated metadata, and plots of the 40Ar/39Ar age spectra and Ca/K and Cl/K ratios.</abstract>\n<purpose>The DGGS Mineral Resources section carried out geologic mapping and sampling in the eastern Denali Highway region between Watana Creek and Paxson from July 29 through August 7, 2015. The project focused on characterization of a broad section of Wrangellia stratigraphy, including Late Triassic rocks of the Ni-Cu-Co-PGE- and Cu-Ag-mineralized Wrangellia large igneous province, as well as modern geochemical characterizations of skarn-, vein-, and basalt-hosted Cu mineralization. The samples described in this report were selected and analyzed to improve our understanding of the geology and structural history of the Wrangellia Mineral Assessment project area.</purpose>\n<supplinf>\n&gt;summary-data-locations: Identification numbers, coordinates, sample descriptions, and summary ages of each sample\n&gt;step-heating-data: Power output levels and resultant measurements from each sample run\n</supplinf>\n</descript>\n<timeperd>\n<timeinfo>\n<rngdates>\n<begdate>2015</begdate>\n<enddate>2017</enddate>\n</rngdates>\n</timeinfo>\n<current>ground condition</current>\n</timeperd>\n<status>\n<progress>complete</progress>\n<update>None planned</update>\n</status>\n<spdom>\n<bounding>\n<westbc>-147.715591</westbc>\n<eastbc>-146.014124</eastbc>\n<northbc>63.319838</northbc>\n<southbc>62.850927</southbc>\n</bounding>\n</spdom>\n<keywords>\n<theme>\n<themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n<themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey>\n</theme>\n<theme>\n<themekt>Alaska Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys</themekt>\n<themekey>40Ar/39Ar</themekey>\n<themekey>Analyses</themekey>\n<themekey>Analyses and Sampling</themekey>\n<themekey>Analytical Lab Results</themekey>\n<themekey>Analytical Results</themekey>\n<themekey>Ar-Ar</themekey>\n<themekey>Basalt</themekey>\n<themekey>Bedrock</themekey>\n<themekey>Bedrock Geology</themekey>\n<themekey>Copper</themekey>\n<themekey>Crystals</themekey>\n<themekey>Geochronology</themekey>\n<themekey>Geologic</themekey>\n<themekey>Geology</themekey>\n<themekey>Greenstone</themekey>\n<themekey>Hornblende</themekey>\n<themekey>Igneous</themekey>\n<themekey>Igneous Rocks</themekey>\n<themekey>Interpretation</themekey>\n<themekey>Lab Methods</themekey>\n<themekey>Methods</themekey>\n<themekey>Mica</themekey>\n<themekey>Mineral Composition</themekey>\n<themekey>Mineralogy</themekey>\n<themekey>Mineral Resources</themekey>\n<themekey>Minerals</themekey>\n<themekey>Muscovite</themekey>\n<themekey>Plutonic Rocks</themekey>\n<themekey>Porphyry</themekey>\n<themekey>Resources</themekey>\n<themekey>Rocks</themekey>\n<themekey>Sample Location</themekey>\n<themekey>Strategic and Critical Minerals Assessment Project</themekey>\n<themekey>Strategic Minerals</themekey>\n<themekey>Stratigraphy</themekey>\n<themekey>Structural Geology</themekey>\n<themekey>Thrust</themekey>\n<themekey>Volcanic Rocks</themekey>\n</theme>\n<place>\n<placekt>Alaska Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys</placekt>\n<placekey>Hayes</placekey>\n<placekey>Mount Hayes Quadrangle</placekey>\n<placekey>Talkeetna</placekey>\n<placekey>Talkeetna Mountains</placekey>\n<placekey>Talkeetna Mountains Quadrangle</placekey>\n</place>\n<stratum>\n<stratkt>Alaska Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys</stratkt>\n<stratkey>Nikolai Greenstone</stratkey>\n<stratkey>Wrangellia Terrane</stratkey>\n</stratum>\n<temporal>\n<tempkt>Walker, J.D., Geissman, J.W., Bowring, S.A, and Babcock, L.E., comp., 2012, Geologic Time Scale v. 4.0: Geological Society of America</tempkt>\n<tempkey>Cretaceous</tempkey>\n<tempkey>Oligocene</tempkey>\n<tempkey>Triassic</tempkey>\n</temporal>\n</keywords>\n<accconst>This report, map, and/or dataset is available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below).</accconst>\n<useconst>Any hard copies or published datasets utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate their source.
