The Unnamed is a copper, gold, 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.
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 = A few small pits have been dug on the exposures.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Rose and Richter, 1967
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = At this location several quartz veins cut granodiorite, strike N. 60 W. and dip 82 southwest. The veins, up to 3 feet in thickness, contain several inches of massive pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite. Pyrrhotite is also disseminated throughout the quartz. Parts of the veins are vuggy and parts contain considerable muscovite. A sample collected by Rose and Richter ran trace gold, 0.40 ounce per ton silver, 0.1 percent copper, and trace arsenic. A few small pits have been dug on the veins.
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Site is on land conveyed to the Koniag Corporation.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Chugach-type low-sulfide gold-quartz veins (Bliss, 1992; model 36a.1).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Age = Tertiary
