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.

Comment (Reserve-Resource): THE ABOVE RESERVES ESTIMATED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONFIDENCE INTERVALS: 90% 10,000T; 75% GREATER THEN 10,000 T; 50% LESS THEN 20,000 T; 25% LESS THAN 40,000 T; 10% LESS THAN 50,000 T
Comment (Development): THERE WERE NO REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLES OF ORE REMAINING IN THE STOPES OR ON THE DUMP AT THE TIME OF THIS VISIT (APRIL 1979).
Comment (Deposit): SHAFTS, RAISES, WINZES, ADITS, DRIFTS, CROSSCUTS, AND PITS. PRODUCTION 1909-1916
Comment (Workings): 3 SHAFTS AVE 450 FT, 2 ADITS AVE 50 FT
Comment (Geology): 2 FISSURE SYSTEMS (N-S DIPS 85 DEG N IS THE MAIN FISSURE, ONE STRIKING (N 15 DEG W 35 DEG E) IS HOST FOR MOST OF THE ZN ORE, THE ORE IS PRACTACALLY ALL OXIDIZED
Comment (Deposit): PRIMARY ORE MINERALS PROBABLY CONSISTED OF SULFIDES OF LEAD,IRON, COPPER AND ZINC. A CHARACTERISTIC FEATURE IS THE EXTENSIVE LATERAL REPLACEMENT OF HOST ROCK BY ORE MINERALS. ALTERATION IS NOT EXTENSIVE.
