The Hunter deposit has a story;
I discovered this deposit while looking for Gold in the Iditarod mining district in Alaska. The deposit stands out as a magnetic dipole. I named it Hunter because is associated with or near the Hunter trail.
This deposit was inferred from a magnetic anomaly!
Gold is not magnetic but Gold is often associated with iron. The Black Queen mine near Apache Junction in Arizona was massive iron with gold flakes through-out. Sedimentary deposits may contain banded iron formations with gold!
Let me know if you need examples in Alaska.
