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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Cathcart, 1922

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Several tunnels, 25 to 180 feet long, were driven on this deposit.

Comment (Geology): Age = Mid-Cretaceous or younger; veins cross cut marble metamorphosed in the mid-Cretaceous.
