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 (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Color anomaly 1.0 by 0.5 mi (1,600 by 800 m) elongate in northwest direction. Anomaly is in volcanic and epiclastic rocks intruded by granodiorite. Disseminated pyrite is source of color anomaly.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Christie, 1974
Comment (Deposit): Model Number = 17, 25
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Brief reconnaissance geologic mapping and collection of a few silt samples reported by Christie (1974). Samples showed moderate silver (up to 1.5 ppm) and gold to 0.03 ppm. Copper, molybdenum, and zinc were all at low levels.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Copper porphyry, epithermal gold vein
Comment (Geology): Age = Miocene or younger
