Southcentral Alaska's Cook Inlet and Matanuska-Susitna valleys contain documented placer and hard-rock mineralization. Turnagain Arm's Hope and Sunrise creek systems produced documented placer gold from the 1895 rush; the Independence Mine in Hatcher Pass (Matanuska-Susitna) was Alaska's most productive hard-rock lode gold mine, operating through 1951. Modern geological surveys suggest under-explored quartz vein systems and paleochannel deposits in glaciated valleys. Both state and federal land; Alaska DNR permits required for state mineral entry.
