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 (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Grybeck and Nelson, 1981
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The deposit consists of sulfide-bearing carbonates, probably the Skajit Limestone (Nelson and Grybeck, 1980). More than forty, 1 to 5 cm bands of galena and sphalerite with copper and silver values were intersected in 122 m of diamond drill hole. There was considerable staking in the area and limited diamond drilling in 1976.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = 122 m of diamond drilling at site.
