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

Comments

Comment (Deposit): ADIT FOLLOWS FAULT ZONE. FAULT BRECCIA CONTAINS DISCREET OXIDIZED PYRITE GRAINS ALTERED TO HEMATITE WHICH HAS BEEN COATED WITH OPALINE SILICA. LIMESTONE CARRIES PYRITE CRYSTALS UP TO 1/4 INCH AND QUARTZ VEIN/VEINLETS FOLLOWING BEDDING PLANES. FAULT GOUGE ON DUMP IS SILICIFIED AND COATED WITH DRUSY QUARTZ ON SURFACES AND IN CAVITIES. DOUBLY TERMINATED QUARTZ CRYSTALS OCCUR IN BRECCIACEMENT. BRECCIA AND LIMESTONE ARE CUT WITH MASSIVE TO OPEN-CENTERED VITREOUS QUARTZ VEINS.

Comment (Workings): SINGLE ADIT ABOUT 30 FT LONG, WITH MINOR SURFACE CUTS.
