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 (Deposit): SCHEELITE OCCURS AS SMALL SPARSELY DISSEMINATED CRYSTALS IN QUARTZ STRINGERS ALONG THE CONTACT BETWEEN RHYOLITE AN-D LIMESTONE.THE CONTACT, AND THE BEDDING IN THE LIMESTONE STRI-D E N35W AND DIP 35 SW.

Comment (Workings): PROSPECTED BY A 150 FT. ADIT, RAISE, PITS, SHORT ADITS AND AN INCLINED SHAFT WITH TWO DRIFTS

Comment (Geology): VEINS CUT ACROSS THE BEDS, COMMONLY ARE SILICIFIED BRECCIAS IN FAULT ZONES. THEY FORM CONSPICUOUS DARK OUTCROPS UP TO SEVERAL TENS OF FEET WIDE

Comment (Reserve-Resource): PARTS OF THE PRIDA FORMATION BETWEEN ROLANDS AND SACRAMENTO CANYON HAVE LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR LIME. SAMPLE ANALYZED: 90.9% CACO3, 1.8% MG CO3, AND 7.91% SIO2

Comment (Location): W SIDE OF HUMBOLDT RANGE, AND ALONG THE FLANK OF RANGE FROM WEAVER CYN TO HORSE CYN. ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)

Comment (Development): IN 1944, THE ALLIED TUNGSTEN CORP EXPLORED THE DEPOSIT WITH SEVERAL SMALL PROSPECT PITS. ONLY TRACES OF TUNGSTEN W-ERE FOUND AND NONE WAS EVER MINED OR SHIPPED.
