The Unnamed (near Cook Inlet Shoals) is a titanium and iron 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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Cook, 1969
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Very limited descriptive information is published on this occurrence.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurence has been reported as an offshore mining lease for titanium in Cook Inlet, north of Fire Island. Cook (1969, p. 89-99) evaluated this occurrence by concentrating the heavy minerals in a -48 mesh fraction. Concentrates yielded 15.9 pounds of magnetite and 5.2 pounds of ilmenite per cubic yard. He reported that the amount of heavy minerals was too low to be of economic value at that time. Very limited descriptive information is published on this occurrence.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Ti (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39c)
