Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :1972
Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN SEPT. 1983, BUT PROPERTY WAS STAKED
Comment (Deposit): MOST OF DUMP ROCK IS COMPOSED OF GRAY OR REDDISH LIMESTONE WITH HEMATITE(?)-FILLED GIRVANELLA ALGALOOVIDS. SOME OF THE ROCKS ARE BRECCIATED OR DISPLAY SILICA-CEMENTED FINE BRECCIA ZONES. OTHER LIMESTONE BRECCIA ON THE DUMP IS CEMENTED BY WHITE CALCITE. THE PRESENCE OF BRECCIA SLICKENSIDES INDICATES THAT THE ADIT FOLLOWS OR INTERCEPTS A FAULT ZONE, ALTHOUGH NO SUCH STRUCTURE IS OBVIOUS AT PORTAL. SAMPLE 1742 CONSISTS OF A FINE LIMESTONE BRECCIA CEMENTED WITH WHITE CALCITE WHICH CARRIES SCATTERED CRYSTALS OF OXIDIZED PYRITE. THE ROCKS SHOW SOME HEMATITE STAINING ALSO.?
Comment (Workings): ONE N45E ADIT IN LIMESTONE
Comment (Geology): PINK IRON STAINS AND WHITE, CALCITE-CLAY COAT BEDDING PLANE SURFACES
