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): Geologic Description = Chalcopyrite in quartz in sheared zones parallel to bedding in lower part of Neruokpuk Formation.??Rocks in this area are currently mapped as the Neruokpuk Schist of Leffingwell (1919) by Reiser and others (1980). These rocks are likely Cambrian in age (Lane and others, 1995).

Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
