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.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments
Comment (Workings): FOUR BULL DOZER CUTS, ONE PROSPECT PIT
Comment (Deposit): COPPER, IRON AND MN OXIDE MINERALS OCCUR IN MILKY QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL ALONG A N20E, 70 SE FAULT? A SMALL OUTCROP OF SOMEWHAT ALTERED GRANODIORITE PORPHYRY OCCURS IN ONE TRENCH, BUT THE MAIN WALLROCK IS GREY PHYLLITE WITHIN QUARTZITE. A 50 CM WIDE HIGHLY HEMATITIC ZONE IN THE PHYLLITE OCCURS ALONG STRIKE AWAY FROM THE PIT WITH THE VEIN QUARTZ. REMNANTS OF CHALCOPYRITE AND PYRITE PRESENT IN THE QUARTZ; MALACHITE, WAD, LIMONITE, DARK OXIDE CU MINERALS (?), AND A YELLOW-GREEN, UNIDENTIFIED OXIDE (ARSENATE?) MINERAL OCCUR IN THE VEIN QUARTZ MATERIAL. THE TOTAL WIDTH OF THE VEIN COULD NOT BE DETERMINED, BUT IT DOES NOT EXTEND MORE THAN A FEW METERS HORIZONTALLY, AND IS PROBABLY SPOTTY IN THE MAIN AREA OF EXPOSURE.
Comment (Location): ABOUT 1.8 AIR MILES N 10 W FROM THE GOLCONDA MINE ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
