The Latouche Consolidated Copper Co. is a copper mine located in Alaska.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
Mine Info
Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Geology): Age = Early Tertiary; stringers cut early Tertiary rocks.
Comment (Reserve-Resource): Reserves = None reported.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = A 6 by 6 foot shaft to an unknown depth was dug on the prospect in the early 1900's. There has been no production from this prospect ( Nelson and others, 1980).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Quartz-chalcopyrite stringers.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Grant and Higgins, 1909
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The host rock of this prospect is graywacke of the Tertiary Orca Group. The mineralization consists of quartz-chalcopyrite stringers within a 3 foot wide shear zone. The strike and dip if the mineralization is unknown. The graywacke strikes northeast and dips 50 to 70 to the southeast. A 3 foot chip wide chip sample of the mineralization contained 1.7% Cu and 8.5 ppm silver (Nelson and others, 1980).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
