Copper Prospects Open Along Resurrection Bay
Three copper prospects are being opened around Resurrection Bay near Seward with surface ore samples suggesting potential for producing mines. Ledges and tunnels at several sites show copper sulfide indications and mining men expect further exploration to define ore width and value. Local interests report promising prospects across Porcupine Bay and the Keani peninsula, with a mineralized belt likely extending through creeks and gulches. The U.S. Geological Survey notes 3230 gold or silver mines nationwide a year ago.
