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.

Comment (Development): 4 OR 5 ADITS & PROSPECTS IN THE AREA. LOWER ADIT IS DEEP & NEAR RD. TRACKS & AIR PIPE STILL EXTENDING FROM MOUTH OF ADIT, SITUATED ON TOP OF RIDGE
Comment (Geology): UPPER WORKINGS EXPOSE IRREGULAR TO REGULAR PODS OF QTZ. & CALCITE IN A GREY WEATHERED LS. THESE PODS OCCUR ALONG AND 11 TO THE LIMESTONE BEDDING, WHICH IS ORIENTED N25W &25E. THE HOST LS IS LACED WITH CALCITE VEINLETS WHICH 11 TO X-CUT THE BEDDING. SOME PODS OF QTZ. FOUND ON THE GLORY HOLE DUMP CONTAIN WHITE & YELLOW-GREEN, RADIATING STIBNITE ? OXIDES & GHOST OF STIBNITE. SMALL SHEAR ZONES X-CUT THE PODS & WALL RK. THE LS. IS SILICIFIED LOCALLY ALONG THESE SHEARS! THE SHEARS LOOK AS THEY ARE SMALL BEDDING PLANE FAULTS
