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 (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.
