Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Deposit): Discovery Year: ABOUT WWI
Comment (Deposit): E-W TO NE-TRENDING FAULT ZONES IN GABBRO. SILICIFIED LENSES ALONG FAULT, UP TO 1M WIDE. GABBRO IS BRECCIATED, SILICIFIED, PYRITIZED AND BLEACHED ALONG FAULT LENSES CONTAIN PYRITE, JAMESONITE, AND ARSENOPYRITE, WITH JAMESONITE LARGELY ALTERED TO BIND HEIMITE. RELICT PODS OF SULFIDE ARE SURROUNDED BY OXIDES. MOST OF THE ORE MINED HERE MUST HAVE BEEN OXIDE.
Comment (Workings): OPEN PITS ALONG FAULT; OLD ADIT
Comment (Location): ABOUT 0.5 MILE N. OF THE GREEN MINE. ACCESSIBLE VIA FAIR JEEP TRAIL UP CANYON. . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1984.
