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 (Workings): SABUGALITE IS DISSEMINATED IN A 1-FOOT THICK TERTIARY CLAY BED AND AN UNDERLYING 2-INCH CARBONACEOUS BED. THE MINERALIZED UNIT OVERLIES WATER DEPOSITED TUFFS WHICH DISCONFORMABLY OVERLIE GRANITIC ROCKS. SPARSE URANIUM MINERALIZATION EXTENDS A SHORT DISTANCE INTO THE UNDERLYING TUFFS. THE CLAY BED CONTAINS UVANIUM FOR OVER 100 FEET ALONG THE STRIKE (GARSIDE P 104)
