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): SHAFT, ADIT, PITS, TRENCHES, DOZER CUTS. SHOWINGS OF SCHEELITE FOUND IN SEVERAL PROSPECTS IN 1939 (MOORE, P 24). THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE EFFORT PUT INTO DEVELOPING THE AREA, BUT VERY LITTLE MINERALIZATION HAS BEEN EXPOSED.
Comment (Geology): EXPOSURES SHOW VERY LIMITED SKARN OR NONE AT ALL. WHERE SKARN DOES EXIST THE SCHEELITE SHOWS ARE QUITE GOOD.
