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 (Development): 310 UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS EXPLORED FOR PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSITS BY GEOLOGIC MAPPING, MAGNETIC SURVEY, DRILLING. MINOR AMOUNTS OF TURQUOISE WERE PRODUCED IN EARLIER DAYS. NOT FAVORABLE FOR LARGE SUPERGENE-ENRICHED COPPER DEPOSIT, BUT FAVORABLE INDICATIONS FOR HYPOGENE COPPER MINERALIZATION.
