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 = Joesting, 1942 (ATDM Pamph. 1)

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Little is known other than it is a prospect.

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Simple Sb deposit (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27d)

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This prospect consists of a stibnite-bearing quartz vein. Wolframite has been found in float (Joesting, 1942, ATDM Pamph. 1, p. 41). Bedrock is gray quartz-orthoclase-sericite schist and augen gneiss of the California Creek Member of the Totatlanika Schist (Wahrhaftig, 1970 [GQ-810]).
