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.

Comment (Location): 11 UNPATENTED CLAIMS
Comment (Reserve-Resource): THIS PROPERTY SHOULD HAVE A SYSTEMATIC METHOD OF EXPLORATION WHICH MIGHT UNCOVER VEINS OF GOOD WIDTH AND OF MINABLE GRADE, ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF ITS PROXIMITY TO MOTHER LODE VEIN.
Comment (Development): SEVERAL MAJOR COMPANIES HAVE EXPLORED THE COPPER MINERALIZATION IN THIS AREA SINCE 1965 .
Comment (Workings): NO UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT; POOR OPEN CUTS AND SURFACE TRENCHES.
Comment (Geology): MINERALIZATION IS ON STRIKE WITH MOTHER LODE TO EAST. ; GEOL.DESC: THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A "SUBSIDED" CRATER; A GRANITE EXPOSURE IS SAID TO OCCUR.
