Satelite View

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

Comment (Development): 124 UNPATENTED CLAIMS ACQUIRED BY QUEENSTAKE RESOURCES LTD.
Comment (Deposit): SOIL SAMPLES ACROSS A MINERALIZED ZONE THAT IS CONCORDANT WITH THE ENCLOSING CHERTS, SHALES AND LIMESTONES HAVE OUTLINED A COINCIDENT PB-ZN-AG ANOMALY RANGING IN WIDTH FROM 100 TO 450 FT OVER A POSSIBLE STRIKE LENGTH OF AS MUCH AS 3000 FT. THE MODE OF OCCURRENCE AND THE TYPE OF ALTERATION AND MINERALIZATION SUGGEST A VOLCANOGENIC ORIGIN
