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 (Deposit): WHITE QUARTZ VEIN ALONG SHEAR ZONE CONTAINS RED HEMATITE STAINING ON FRACTURES, PARK RED HEMATITE BANDING ON BOTH WALLS, HAS 0.5-1FT FAULT GOUGE ON WALLS. VEIN IS BRECCIATED AND CEMENTED WITH FE OXIDE SILICA. VEIN PINCHES AND SWELLS ALONG STRIKE AND DIP. THE UPPER (SOUTH) WORKINGS EXPOSE A DIORITE (TO EAST) CONTACT ZONE WITH VEIN QUARTZ ALONG THE CONTACT. VEIN-DIKE CONTACT HERE STRIKES N 40-45 E. DIKE IS A FINE-GRAINED GRANODIORITE COMPOSED OF BIOTITE (MODERATELY CHLORITIZED), QUARTZ, FELDSPAR, SOME FE OXIDE POINTS (AFTER PYRITE). INTRUSIVE BODY EXTENDS TO THE EAST AND IS CUT BY A QUARTZ-CALCITE VEIN IN WORKINGS THERE. THE VEIN IS HEMATITE-STAINED, CRUSHED QUARTZ VEIN WITH DOG-TOOTH SPAR ON WALLS; N 30 E STRIKE, 70 NE DIP TO VEIN.
Comment (Workings): ADITS, SMALL STOPES ALONG VEIN
Comment (Geology): THE INTRUSIVE BODY, NOT SHOWN ON THE COUNTY GEOLOGIC MAP, MAY EXTEND EAST 1000 FT OR MORE, MAY CONNECT WITH INTRUSIVE AT SAMPLE SITE 2627, PROBABLY A SMALL PLUG RATHER THAN A DIKE.
