Two USGS scientists study rotary drill core that was abandoned on location at a porphyry-style copper mineral deposit in a remote part of the Yukon-Tanana upland northeast of Northway, Alaska. The core was left on site by the mineral exploration company who conducted the drilling, and it has been exposed to Alaska weather for almost a decade.
