The Kady is a silver, zinc, and lead mine located in Alaska.
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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The most highly mineralized rocks contain up to 21% Zn, 2% Cu, 150 ppm Ag, 0.07% Pb, and 0.20 ppm Au.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Pb-Zn quartz veins and vein-breccias
Comment (Geology): Age = probably Late Devonian-Mississippian
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Bedrock in the area consists of sandstone and conglomerate of the Kanayut Conglomerate. Veins up to 0.6 m in width occur in outcrops as well as widespread mineralized float. Mineralized rocks consist of massive banded sulfides in quartz veins, sulfide-bearing breccias, and sulfide minerals disseminated in sandstone and conglomerate units adjacent to veins. Mineralized zone covers an area of at least 1.3 km2.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Kelley and Mull, 1995, MF-2225-A
