Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Deposit): FAULT BRECCIA. LIMESTONE HAS VEINLETS AND PODS OF CLEAR CALCITE AS WELL AS MANGANOSIDERITE PODS. THE LIMESTONE CARRIES LIMONITE/HEMATITE PSEUDOMORPHS AFTER PYRITE. BOTH DUMPS HAVE GOSSANY NODULES, AND SLICKENSIDES ARE ABUNDANT ON ALL ROCKS. MANY OF THE ROCKS ALSO SHOW EVIDENCE OF SERICITIZATION, AND POSSIBLY CHLORITIC ALTERATION. ROCKS ARE FRACTURED AND BRECCIATED.
