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): ADIT EXPLORES SHEAR WHICH FAULTS QTZITE BRX ON W AGAINST MASSIVE GREY LIMESTONE ON EAST. FAULT IS = 8FT WIDE AT ENTRANCE & PINCHS OUT TO 1. ORIENTATION OF FAULT IS N18W, 50SW AS MEASURED ON SLICKED LIMESTONE FALL E OF SHEAR. QTZITE BRX OUTCROPS ON ENTIRE RIDGE W OF ADIT FOR 100FT OR MORE. FRAGS IN THE BRX RANGE FROM CLEAN TO RED & WHITE MARLY APPEARANCE DUE TO FEOX CEMENT. A SMALL AMOUNT OF CARBONATE OCCURS IN VUGS. GREY WEATH LIMESTONE WITH CALCITE STRINGERS IS EXPOSED E OF FAULT. THE FAULT ZONE CONTAINS 2FT-4FT WIDE BOULDERS OF LIMESTONE BRX, THE SILICIFIED FACE OF LIMESTONE E OF SHEAR IS NOT BRX.
Comment (Development): 1 PARTIALLY CAVED ADIT STRIKING DUE NORTH & = 20FT LONG.
