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 (Geology): GEOL.DESC: MANGANESE LIES IN BELT OF THIN-BEDDED PURPLISH MANGANIFEROUS CHERT 400 FT. WIDE, AT LEAST 800 FT. LONG, STRIKING N. E. AND DIPPING NEARLY VERTICAL. CHERT IS CUT OFF BY GREENSTONE ON 2 SIDES AND SEEMINGLY IS A ROOF PENDANT IN A BASIC PLUTONIC ROCK. MANGANESE IS LOCALIZED IN 3 DEPOSITS; 2 AT N. E. END, ABOUT 300 FT. APART ACROSS STRIKE AND THE OTHER 600 FT. TO THE S. ACROSS A RAVINE. N. E. DEPOSIT IS LOUELLA, S. E. IS CARR, AND S. W. IS CARRIE CLAIM, WHICH IS LOWER GRADE THAN OTHERS. IT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH ORE OVER 5 PERCENT MANGANESE, AND IS INVOLVED WITH GREENSTONE, WHICH CUTS OFF CHERT TO THE S. E.
