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 (Geology): Age = Tertiary
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Mineral occurrence is located in quarry in volcanic rocks of either the Finger Bay Volcanics or the Andrew Lake Formation. Dominant lithology is a massive andesite(?) cut by faults trending approximately east-west. A zone of iron-staining, possibly centered on a sheer zone or fault cuts through the quarry. Stained zone is approximately 10-15-m-wide and the included rocks contain variable amounts of pyrite.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = A number of samples (93AWs 14a-i) were collected during brief U.S. Geological Survey reconnaissance studies in 1993. Samples yielded as much as 4 ppb Au, 0.11 ppm Hg, 310 ppm Cu, 0.31 ppm Ag, 270 ppm Pb, and 190 ppm Zn.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
