The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comment (Deposit): THE DEPOSIT IS LOCATED IN NEWARK CANYON, SIMPSON CREEK AND DE PAOLI CANYON IN TWELVE MODERN PLACES CLAIMS. MANY OF THE BLACK SAND DEPOSITS ARE ADJACENT TO THE TITANIFEROUS SANDSTONE AND TUFF LENSES FROM WHICH TITANIFEROUS MAGNETITE AND MAGNETITE HAVE WEATHERED OUT. BLACK SAND CONCENTRATE SAMPLES SUBMITTED BY OWNERS CONTAINED 9.2% TI02. SAMPLES COLLECTED BY NBMG AVERAGED 0.5% TI02. AVERAGE TI02 CONTENT IN EXPOSED TITANIFEROUS MAGNETITE-ENRICHED AREAS WAS 1% TO 2%.
