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): A SMALL SHEAR ZONE EXPOSED AT THE MOUTH OF S35W ADIT APPEARS UNRELATED TO ORIENTATION OF THE WORKINGS. FROM THE AMOUNT OF GOSSAN & SILIC LS. FOUND ON THE DUMP THE ADIT PROB. EXPLORED A REPLACED ZONE NOT OBSERVABLE FROM THE ENTRANCE. THE HOST RK. IS A GREY LS WITH CALCITE VEINS & FEOX ON FRACTURED SURFACES. NEAR THE WORKING AN OUTCROP OF LS. IS MED BEDDED WITH SOME ALGAL LOOKING STRUCTURES ALONG BEDDING PLANES. THREE MORE ADITS WERE OBSERVED TO SW (ON WEST SIDE OF RIDGE) ON WAY BACK DOWN RD. THEIR ORIENTATION SEEMS TO COINCIDE WITH THE SILIC RIB NOTED IN DRAINAGE TO THE NORTH
Comment (Development): 1 S35W ORIENTED ADIT. DOWN RD. IS ANOTHER N60W ADIT
