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 (Other Database): RECORD NUMBER ISM0777 IS A POTENTIAL DUPLICATE OF THIS RECORD
Comment (Development): EXPLORED BY THE SISKON CO. IN 1960-1961, WHO MADE OPEN-CUTS AND CHURN-DRILL HOLES.
Comment (Location): UTM PRECISION 500 M
Comment (Geology): THE VANADIUM DEPOSITS ARE IN HIGHLY SHEARED AND CONTORTED BLACK SHALES INTERLAYERED WITH CHERT, CALCAREOUS SHALE AND LIMESTONE. THESE ROCKS ARE WESTERN ASSEMBLAGE AND IN THE UPPER PLATE OF THE ROBERTS MTN THRUST. THE VANADIUM MINERALS ARE WITH BITUMINOUOUS PHOSPHATIC SHALES.
Comment (Deposit): THE DEPOSIT WAS EXPLORED BY THE SISKON CO IN 1960-61, OPEN CUTS WERE MADE AND A NUMBER OF CHURN DRILL HOLES WERE PUT DOWN. THE PROSPECT IS NEARBY THE GIBELLINI MANGANESE PROPERTY ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
