The Long Bay No. 1 is a zinc, lead, arsenic, and silver 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.

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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Jansons and others, 1984
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Jansons and others (1984) reported six chip samples contain from 39 ppm to 1.75 percent Zn, less than 1 ppm to 0.14 percent Pb, 0.3 to 8.2 ppm Ag, and less than 10 ppm to 1.6 percent As. Grab samples contain from 36 ppm to 3.2 percent Zn, 5 ppm to 2.6 percent Pb, and less than 0.1 ppm to 8 oz/ton Ag. The potential for mineral development is moderate, although no development has occurred to date (Jansons and others, 1984).
Comment (Production): Production Notes = No production.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Greenstone, slate, and graywacke of the Tertiary Orca Group are cut by mineralized shear zones. Zones range from 4 inches to 20 ft wide and contain sphalerite, galena, pyrite, and arsenopyrite (Jansons and others, 1984).? Jansons and others (1984) reported six chip samples contained from 39 ppm to 1.75 percent Zn, less than 1 ppm to 0.14 percent Pb, 0.3 to 8.2 ppm Ag, and less than 10 ppm to 1.6 percent As. Grab samples contained from 36 ppm to 3.2 percent Zn, 5 ppm to 2.6 percent Pb, and less than 0.1 ppm to 8 oz/ton Ag.
Comment (Geology): Age = Paleocene or younger; mineralized shear zones cut greenstone, slate, and graywacke of the Tertiary Orca Group.
