Mine Info
Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Development): DRILLING IN PROGRESS IN 1987, BY U.S. BORAX
Comment (Deposit): BRECCIA ZONES ASSOCIATED WITH RHYOLITE INTRUSIVES WHICH CUT RHYOLITE FLOWS AND METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS. PYRITE AND SILVER SULFIDES ARE DISSEMINATED IN RHYOLITE AND OCCUR AS FRACTURE COATINGS WITH QUARTZ IN THE BRECCIA ZONES; OUTCROP OF ZONE IS OXIDIZED; FRACTURES ARE COATED WITH ORANGE BROWN LIMONITE, BOTRYOIDAL MN OXIDES; VUGS IN THE BRECCIA ARE FILLED WITH LIMONITE AND CLEAR, ACICULAR QUARTZ CRYSTALS. OXIDE ORE ZONE IN SECTION 9 APPEARS TO FOLLOW A NE TREND. THE REPORTED SULFIDE ZONE IN SEC. 10 IS EXPOSED ALONG A NARROW DRAINAGE THAT EXTENDS SOUTH FROM WILLOW CANYON. METASEDIMENTARY ROCK OUTCROPS LIMIT THE EXTENT OF THE DISSEMINATED, RHYOLITE-HOSTED ORE ZONE TO THE NE AND EAST.
