G.C. Kennedy Matt S. Walton Jr. 1944 <p>This report presents the results of a brief geologic reconnaissance of some of the chromite-bearing sills between Red Bluff Bay and Silver Bay in central Baranof Island, southeastern Alaska (see figs. 1 and 2), and the results of a magnetic study of a chromite body in the ultrabasic rocks at Red Bluff Bay. Also included are the results of a brief examination of a nickel prospect near Sitka.</p><p>The field work, upon which this report is largely based, was done by the authors in the early part of August 1943 as a part of a Geological Survey project to investigate some of the ultrabasic rocks of southeastern Alaska to determine the presence or absence in them of significant nickel-copper or chromium deposits. Previous studies of some of the chromite-bearing ultrabasic rocks of Baranof Island were made by Guild and Balsley during the summer of 1941.</p> application/pdf 10.3133/ofr4480 en U.S. Geological Survey Chromite occurrences and a nickel prospect, Baranof Island, southeastern Alaska reports
