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): 3 OR 4 OPEN ADITS NEAR & BEHIND SM. CABIN ABOVE RD. WITH SMALL DUMPS
Comment (Geology): BEHIND SM. CABIN AN ADIT EXPLORES A LS/DOLOMITE BRECCIA EXPOSED AT PORTAL. THE BRECCIA CONTAINS GREY CALCITE VEINED LS/DOLOMITE FRAGMENTS CEMENTED BY XTALLINE CALCITE. A DEEP PURPLE BRECCIA COMPOSED OF QTZ. FRAGS CEMENTED BY FINE-GRADED RED SILICA IS ALSO PRESENT ON THE DUMP & IN SM CUTS ON RIDGE CREST. JUST BELOW RIDGECREST ARE SEVERAL SM CUTS WHICH EXPOSE AN ALTERED & OXIDIZED, ZONE MARKED BY GOUGE & FEOX. THE LS. EXPOSED HERE IS SILICIFIED & CUT BY NUMEROUS SILIC. VEINLETS. A RESISTANT SPINE OF SILIC LS/DOLOMITE BRECCIA FORMS THE RIDGECREST. THE SPINE STRIKES N30-40E AND IS CUT BY A NUMBER OF VERTICAL FRACTURES. THE HOST ROCK FOR THIS DEPOSIT IS PROB. THE HANSEN CRK DOLOMITE
