Geologic map of the Circle mining district, Alaska

This report provides detailed (1:63,360-scale) mapping of portions of U.S. Geological Survey Circle B-2 (1955), B-3 (1955), B-4 (1952), C-2 (1955), C-3 (1955), and C-4 (1952) quadrangles. The area is part of the Circle mining district and adjacent to the Fairbanks mining district. This report includes detailed geologic, structural, stratigraphic, and geochronologic data. Based on the resulting geologic maps, field investigations, and laboratory materials analyses, the project has also generated derivative maps of geologic construction materials and geologic hazards.

Analyses of historic U.S. Bureau of Mines samples for geochemical trace-element and rare-earth-element data from the Circle mining district, western Crazy Mountains, and the Lime Peak area of the White Mountains, Circle Quadrangle, east-central Alaska

This report and digital data release presents 286 new geochemical analyses on historic U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) samples, including 93 rock, 110 stream sediment, 52 soil, and 28 heavy mineral concentrate (pan concentrate) samples, as well as 3 samples of indeterminate type. These samples were originally collected as part of studies by the USBM in the Circle mining district, western Crazy Mountains, and Lime Peak area of the White Mountains, Circle Quadrangle, east-central Alaska. Historic USBM sample materials were retrieved by DGGS from the DGGS Geologic Materials Center (GMC), where the USBM samples were transferred as part of the federally funded Minerals Data and Information Rescue in Alaska (MDIRA) program...
