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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Anderson, 1945
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Nickel in asbestiform minerals in stream float.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurrence consists of nickel in asbestiform minerals in stream float (Anderson, 1945). A specimen of chrysotile and antigorite taken from the mouth of Stockley Creek was submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Mines for analysis. The samples returned good tests for nickel.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
