Abstract
This report is an analysis of the adequacy of the present level of geologic knowledge for making mineral resource potential evaluations of 126 federal land withdrawals made under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The withdrawals considered are Native village and regional deficiency areas (Sec. 11.A.3, ANCSA), classification and national interest study areas for possible inclusion in the four national systems (Sec. 17.d.2) and classification and public interest areas (Sec. 17.d.1). Neither prior withdrawals, utility corridors, state selections, open lands, or Indian Reserves are included. Native village withdrawals are also not included because they were the subject of an earlier report (Cobb, E. H., and Trollman, W. T., 1971).
The present report consists of two sections. The introduction explains the method of preparation and presents a summary table and some general remarks on the mineral potential of Alaska. The second part, the discussion of withdrawals, contains listings of the investigations that have been made and analyses of their adequacy in view of what needs to be known about the withdrawals.
