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.

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Auriferous quartz veins in brecciated quartzite.

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This sample is from a 75- to 100-foot wide N 60 E-trending breccia zone in quartzite. The zone contains quartz veinlets one-eighth inch to 1 inch wide. Possible arsenopyrite found in quartz boxwork; samples of the brecciated quartzite contain 0.7 ppm Au and 1.0 ppm Ag (Foster and others, 1984).
