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 (Geology): UPPER WORKINGS ARE IN EXTENSIVE SHEAR & OXID. LS. A ZONE OF REPLACED LS IS N STRIKING & DIPS TO W. THE GREY LS. ON THE "FOOTWALL" OF REPLACED ZONE IS HIGHLY SILIC. & BRX. ON THE W SIDE OF THE ZONE THE RK. CONTAINS HIGHLY OXID. GOSSAN PODS & CU MIN. ALONG FRACTURES. THE ADIT EXPLORES ONE OF THESE FRACTURES WHICH STRIKES N50E. THE HOST RK IS BRX NEAR WORKINGS BUT IS NOT AFFECTED; A SHORT DISTANT AWAY. BEDDING ORIENT. IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN, BUT IT LOOKS AS THE REPLACEMENT HAS OCCURRED ALONG BEDDING OR AT A LOW TO IT. AN UNIDENTIFIED RED MINERAL, MASSIVE FORM OCCURS IN GOSSAN. ALSO PASS. CONCENTRIC BANDS OF ANGERSITE? SM AMOUNTS OF GALENA FOUND ON DUMP.
Comment (Location): NEAR MINNIE MINORA
Comment (Development): 1 S20W ADIT AND 1 S55W CAVED ADIT ABOVE IS A COMBO 40-50 FT INCLINED SHAFT ADJOINING A S55W ADIT ALSO A PROSPECT PIT
