Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Location): UTM IS TO SAMPLE SITE 2838. UTM OF SITE 2839 IS N 4484230, E379200 . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Development): INACTIVE IN 1984
Comment (Deposit): A SERIES OF PROSPECTS ALONG A N-TRENDING VEIN SYSTEM IN SILTSTONE THAT BEARS N45E AND DIPS IRREGULARLY. SAMPLE 2838 WAS A BRECCIATED AND SILICIFIED PORTION OF A VEIN WITH PYRITE, ANTIMONY, AND POSSIBLY AG. SAMPLE 2839 WAS TO THE NORTH OF THE FIRST ONE BY ABOUT 300 YDS AND CONTAINED VISIBLE PYRITE AND OTHER SULFIDES IN A QUARTZ VEIN AND IN THE ADJACENT SILTSTONE HOST ROCK.
