Historical and active placer mines in the Melozitna mining district, which encompasses the Moran Dome area, have produced more than 12,000 ounces of gold and an undetermined amount of tin, yet little is understood about sources for the placer metals, or the area's gold and polymetallic lode occurrences. During the summer of 2011, geologists from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys' Minerals Resources Section carried out a geologic field survey, including mapping and sampling of the 301-square-mile eastern Moran area in the Tanana A-6 and B-6 quadrangles, Alaska. The mapping is part of an integrated program of airborne geophysical surveys followed by geologic mapping; it gives geological context to the Moran airborne geophysical survey and provides basic information critical to understanding Alaska's geology and mineral-resource potential. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30884.The Moran geologic mapping was implimented as part of an ongoing DGGS program to provide geologic mapping and supporting geochemical, petrologic, and geochronologic data to foster a better understanding of the Alaska's geology and mineral potential.This geodatabase is organized according to the AK GeMS mapping schema Hendricks, M.D., Ekberg, P.G., Athey, J.E., Wyatt, W.C., Willingham, A.L., and Naibert, T.J., 2021, AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schema: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Miscellaneous Publication 170, 10 p. https://doi.org/10.14509/30669.

In addition to field observations, map unit interpretations were developed using 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, geochemical, major-oxide, minor-oxide, trace-element data, and electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric airborne geophysical survey data. The conceptual framework for the geology incorporates key ideas from preexisting literature with new data and interpretations developed from field mapping and analytical findings.
