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 (Location): UNNAMED PROSPECT NEAR ADELAIDE MINE . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Workings): 2 SHORT ADITS
Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1984.
Comment (Deposit): REPLACEMENT BODIES CONSISTING OF GARNET, IDOCRASE?, PYRRMOTITE, CHALCOPYRITE AND PYRITE OCCUR IN THE VICINITY OF A NEARLY HORIZONTAL THRUST. ROCKS WITH ORIGINAL CARBONATE MINERALS ARE VARIABLY SILICATED. A FEW SPECKS OF SCHEELITE WERE OBSERVED WITH A BLACK LIGHT IN SAMPLE 2302.
