The Reiter and Olson is a antimony, lead, copper, and gold 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.

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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Probably minor surface prospecting.
Comment (Production): Production Notes = No known production.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Johnson, 1914
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Data from J.W. Reiter and M.J. Olson indicated (1913) the presence of quartz veins in Late Cretaceous graywackes. The quartz veins, 6 to 30 inches thick, contain stibnite, chalcopyrite, and galena. One 8 to 36 inch thick vein can be traced 200 ft (Johnson, 1914).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Chugach-type low-sulfide Au-quartz veins (Bliss, 1992; model 36a.1 ?) or Epithermal Au vein ?
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Age = Late Cretaceous or younger; veins cut Late Cretaceous graywackes.
