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): DEPOSIT IS IN HEAVILY IRON-STAINED GRANODIORITE, WITH SMALL ROOF PENDANTS OF HORNFELS AND ANDESITE DIKES. GRANODIORITE IS SHATTERED AND BRECCIATED IN VICINITY OF NE-TRENDING FAULT ZONE. MINERALIZED ROCKS ARE MOSTLY ALTERED GRANODIORITE CONTAINING NUMEROUS SULFIDE-BEARING THIN QUARTZ VEINS, DISSEMINATED SULFIDES, AND MINERALIZED FRACTURE COATINGS. ORE MINERALS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PYRITE AND PYRRHOTITE AND INCLUDE CHALCOPYRITE, MOLYBDENITE, MALACHITE, AND MINOR MOLYBDITE, SPHALERITE, AND GALENA.
