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 (Geology): WORKING APPEAR TO BE ALONG A THRUSTAL CONTACT BETWEEN PREF GRANITIC GNEISS AND UNDERLYING (TERT) SPLIT MNT PLUTON. THE VOLCANICS AND GNEISSES ARE CUT BY RANDOMLY ORIENTED MAFIC DIKES, WHICH SHOW PROPYLITIC OR CHLORITIC ALTERATION. THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF MASSIVE QUARTZ VEINS AND VEINLETS. THE ROCKS ARE HIGHLY FRACTURED AND COATED OF SECONDARY CU. MINERALS ALONG SURFACES AND BETWEEN GRAINS. FRESH SULFIDES WERE OBSERVEDFROM DEPTH. MUCH OF THE BRECCIA ASSOCIATED W/ THE FAULT WAS CEMENTED OF QUARTZ. SMITH CONCLUDES THE MINERALIZATION IS ASSOCIATED W/ FELSIC AND MAFIC DIKES WHICH CUT THE GNEISS RATHER THAN THE THRUST FAULT, SINCE THE WORKINGS APPEAR TO FOLLOW THE TREND OF THE DIKES, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE FAULTING ASSOCIATED W/ THE WORKINGS IS HIGHER ANGLE, E-W AND N65E STRIKING & NORTH DIPPING, RATHER THAN NORTH STRIKING LOW ANGLE ASSOCIATED W/ THRUST FAULT. THE FURTHEST NORTH WORKING (POTENTIAL MINE AT CAMP THURMAN) IS A SET OF VERTICLE SHAFTS AND CUTS FOLLOWING A VERTICLE, 2 FT WIDE,
Comment (Geology): N60E TRENDING QUARTZ VEIN, WHICH IS OFFSET IN PLACES DUE TO N-S TRENDING FAULTS. VEIN IS TRACEABLE FOR AT LEAST 100 FT. SEVERAL PARALLEL TO SUB PARALLEL VEINLETS ARE ASSOCIATED W/ MAIN VEIN, WHICH ALSO
