The Unnamed (northeast of Table Mountain) is a tin and tungsten 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 (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Surface samples taken. Staked as Dolly 368 claim block.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Significant Sn, W and Zn geochemical values were detected in calc-silicate rocks. Bedrock is mainly quartz-mica schist intruded by felsic igneous rock (Menzie and others, 1983). Four samples of calc-silicate rock contained 70-150 ppm Sn, up to 500 ppm W, 300-700 ppm Zn, and a trace of Au in one sample (Foster and others, 1984).
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Foster and others, 1984.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Contact metamorphic tin-tungsten-zinc deposit.
