Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Deposit): VEIN
Comment (Geology): THE PROSPECT IS IN DOLOMITE LIMESTONE. THE VEIN VARIES IN WIDTH FROM A FEW INCHES TO TWO FEET AND IS TRACEABLE ON THE SURFACE FOR OVER A MILE. SCHEELITE OCCURS AS SCATTERED CRYSTALS UP TO 2" IN DIAMETER IN A GANGUE OF QUARTZ, CALCITE, LIMONITES, AND COPPER OXIDES.
