The Q. & Q. is a gold 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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Martin (1920) reported that a 150 foot tunnel was driven in 1918.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Martin, 1920
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Bedrock is metasedimentary rocks of the Late Cretaceous Valdez Group. These metasedimentary rocks are locally intruded by Eocene dacite and minor rhyolite dikes in the vicinity of College Fiord.
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Cobb (1979) postulated that the prospect may actually be the Cann and Minor prospect (ARDF number AN134), or the Griset and Benson prospect (ARDF number AN131), or neither.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Chugach-type low-sulfide Au-quartz vein ? (Bliss, 1992; model 36a.1 ?)
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Age = Late Cretaceous or younger; mineralization is hosted by Valdez Group metasedimentary rocks.
