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 (Development): WORKINGS ARE INACTIVE, BUT CLAIMS APPEAR CURRENT AND THERE ARE RECENT (WITHIN PAST 3 YEARS) SIGNS OF GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING IN THE AREA (1983)
Comment (Location): ON S. FLANK OF SMALL E-W RIDGE.
Comment (Workings): MAIN WORKINGS CONSIST OF 2 ADITS; 1 OPEN AND 1 CAVED. SEVERAL SHALLOW TRENCHES OCCUR IN RUBBLE ON RIDGE ABOVE ADITS
Comment (Geology): TERTIARY VOLCANICS OVERLIE THE SEDIMENTS TO THE SOUTH.
Comment (Deposit): NBMG SAMPLE 117 TAKEN HERE. ; INFO.SRC : 3 FIELD OBSERV
Comment (Deposit): PORTAL IN QUARTZITE CUT BY FE-STAINED SILICIFIED BRECCIA ZONE, SLIGHTLY UNDULATORY. ZONE CONSISTS OF FINELY CRUSHED ROCK ALTERED TO A MIXTURE OF CLAY, CALCITE, SILICA, PUNKY FE OXIDES. SOME OF THE MORE SILICIFIED FRAGMENTS HAVE GREEN AND YELLOW OXIDES WHICH MAY BE SCORODITE OR OTHER AS MINERALS. FAULT ZONE IS PROBABLY A THRUST CONTACT BETWEEN QUARTZITES AND LIMESTONE, SINCE CRUSHED & ALTERED ROCK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DERIVED FROM LIMESTONE.
