As part of a cooperative project during 1986 and 1987, personnel from the U.S. Bureau of Mines and State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys studied the mineral development potential of the Chilkat Peninsula and Islands, Alaska, as part of the larger Juneau Mining District study. About 4/5 of the area is within the Alaska State Chilkat and Chilkat Islands State Parks and not open to mineral entry. This study located four new (or previously unreported) gold- copper prospects. One of these, the Road Cut prospect, was examined by trenching, drilling and geophysics. While sufficient grades and tonnages were not delineated by this work to constitute an economic deposit, they are sufficient to encourage...

To leach metals from porphyry copper samples in which chalcopyrite (CuFeS2)2) was the primary mineral, two thermophilic bacteria were used, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and "ferrolobus. " Ferrolobus has not been classified, but is similar to Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. Both organisms are mixotrophic, thermophilic and acidophilic, and oxidize sulfur and iron. Leaching tests were conducted in 6 .ft x 0.5 ft glass leach columns heated to 60 C. The percents of copper, molybdenum, zinc, lead and iron extracted from mineral samples inoculated with mixed cultures of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and ferrolobus were compared with the extraction of these metals from samples maintained under identical conditions but sterilized with...
