The Camp Creek is a gold mine located in Alaska.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
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 (Geology): Geologic Description = Placer gold occurs in Pleistocene (?) sediments (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1998) . No geologic description is published for this property.? Cobb and Reed (1980) indicate that most of the mining in the basin was on Mills (TL059), Pass (TL024), and Twin (TL026) Creeks five to six miles to the southeast. Some production may have been from Camp Creek itself, but if so, the location cannot be pinpointed. Platinum is reported in the basin (Capps, 1913).
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Cobb and Reed, 1980
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The drainage has been prospected and mined by various small scale surface methods.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au-PGE (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a).
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Cobb and Reed (1980) indicate that most of the mining in the basin was on Mills (TL059), Pass (TL024), and Twin (TL026) Creeks five to six miles to the southeast. Some production may have been from Camp Creek itself, but (if so) the location cannot be pinpointed. Platinum is reported in the basin (Capps, 1913).
Comment (Geology): Age = Pleistocene.
Comment (Commodity): Ore Material = PGE
