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 (Identification): Erroneously associated with the deposits in the Jelm Mountain area in old 10278701 (MAS 0560070395). Reference to Darton and others is a different deposit.
Comment (Deposit): Note that this supposed "Au-Cu" vein is NOT listed in Bull. 50 under copper or gold.
Comment (Location): Poor location. "6 miles south of Encampment" is the only information.
