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 = Church and others, 1992

Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Site is in Katmai National Park.

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = No significant mineralization was found during a brief reconnaissance of the area (Church and others, 1992); however, some quartz veining and disseminated pyrite has been noted in the general area (Church and others, 1994). Some potential for polymetallic veins exists. Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks underlie the claims. A small Tertiary intrusive has been tentatively mapped approximately 2 miles east of the site location as plotted.

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Polymetallic vein ? (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 22c).

Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
