Harper project area. During the 2022 field season, geologists from the Alaska Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) conducted 1:100,000-scale bedrock geologic mapping of ~2,600 mi2 (~6,700 km2) within the Eagle, Big Delta, and Mount Hayes quadrangles. The field area for the Mount Harper project covers an area from 50-60 miles northwest of Delta Junction, Alaska, and extends eastward into the Eagle Quadrangle 40-50 miles west of Chicken, Alaska. The project area is of current and historical interest for potential mineral resource development, including quartz vein gold (Au) mineralization, placer Au deposits, granite-hosted tin mineralization, and intrusion-related porphyry copper (Cu)-Au deposits. Mineral sites in and around the Mount Harper project area include Healy, the Pogo gold mine, Lucky 13, Eagle, and others. The data associated with this report are available in digital format as a comma-separated value (CSV) file.  The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30963.</abstract><purpose>The purpose of the Mount Harper project is to produce more accurate, detailed, and modern geologic maps and supporting datasets that will promote mineral resource exploration in eastern Interior Alaska.</purpose><supplinf>&gt;station-descriptions:    field station locations and rock magnetic measurements</supplinf></descript><timeperd><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>2022</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo><current>publication date</current></timeperd><status><progress>Complete</progress><update>None planned</update></status><spdom><bounding><westbc>-146.995576</westbc><eastbc>-141.936486</eastbc><northbc>64.548166</northbc><southbc>63.453082</southbc></bounding></spdom><keywords><theme><themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt><themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey></theme><theme><themekt>Alaska Division of Geological &amp;

The KT-10 meters have a maximum sensitivity of 1 x 10-6 Syst\u00c3\u00a8me International (SI) units on smooth surfaces and a measurable susceptibility range between 0.001 x 10 3 and 1,999.99 x 10-3 SI. The values reported here are for individual measurements performed on representative surfaces of the sampled rock outcrops and/or hand samples. Up to 12 magnetic susceptibility readings were recorded at each field station. Efforts were made to avoid atmospheric effects by measuring multiple sides of outcrops and/or hand samples whenever possible. Where rock samples had been intensely weathered or sample material was not large enough to cover the coil of the KT-10 meter, magnetic susceptibility was not measured. These stations are presented with zero measurements for completeness.</procdesc><procdate>2023</procdate></procstep></lineage></dataqual><spdoinfo><direct>point</direct></spdoinfo><spref><horizsys><geograph><latres>.0000001</latres><longres>.0000001</longres><geogunit>decimal degrees</geogunit></geograph><geodetic><horizdn>WGS84</horizdn><ellips>WGS 84</ellips><semiaxis>6378137</semiaxis><denflat>298.257223563</denflat></geodetic></horizsys></spref><eainfo><detailed><enttyp><enttypl>rdf2023-6-station-descriptions.csv, rdf2023-6-station-descriptions-data-dictionary.csv</enttypl><enttypd>field station locations and rock magnetic measurements</enttypd><enttypds>DGGS</enttypds><ealname>station-descriptions</ealname></enttyp></detailed></eainfo><distinfo><distrib><cntinfo><cntorgp><cntorg>Alaska Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys</cntorg></cntorgp><cntpos>Metadata Manager</cntpos><cntaddr><addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype><address>3354 College Road</address><city>Fairbanks</city><state>AK</state><postal>99709-3707</postal><country>USA</country></cntaddr><cntvoice>(907)451-5020</cntvoice><cntfax>(907)451-5050</cntfax><cntemail>dggspubs@alaska.gov</cntemail><hours>8 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, except State holidays</hours><cntinst>Please view our website (https://www.dggs.alaska.gov) for the latest information on available data.
