The Unnamed 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 (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Nelson and others, 1985

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Unknown

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Only information is that placer claims were staked along an unnamed stream west of Long Lake (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1973). The bedrock consists of Tertiary volcanics and Cretaceous to Tertiary medium-grained granite (Nelson and others, 1983; unit Tv and unit TKi11). Unit Tv includes rhyolitic breccia, ash-flow tuff, flows, and intrusive rocks and subordinate mafic to intermediate flows. Potassium-argon ages for unit Tv range from 56.2 to 62.7 m.y. indicating a Tertiary age for these rocks (Eakins and others, 1978).

Comment (Reserve-Resource): Reserves = No reserves

Comment (Production): Production Notes = No production

Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = None.

Comment (Geology): Age = Quaternary.
