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 (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Possibly related to quartz-stibnite veins at Sukakpak Mountain (CH076).
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurrence is described as a vein containing fine-grained pyrite, hematite, and possibly a little stibnite in a carbonate gangue (Dillon, 1982). No other descriptive information is available for this occurrence. The country rocks near the occurrence are Devonian to Silurian(?) marble overlying and in fault contact with Ordovician black phyllite and marble and Ordovician to Cambrian(?) marble (Dillon and Reifenstuhl, 1995). The host for the mineralization was not specified.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Dillon, 1982
