Mine Info

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.

Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)

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
