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.

Comments

Comment (Deposit): AREA IS REPORTED TO BE ONLY WEAKLY MINERALIZED. PYRITE REPORTEDLY PRESENT IN THE ANDESITE, WHILE ANTIMONY AND ARSENIC OXIDES STAIN BRECCIAS AND SINTER. ANOMALOUS SILVER VALUES WERE REPORTED FROM SOME BRECCIAS. SAMPLE 3967 WAS TAKEN FROM A SILICIFIED SHEAR ZONE OR VEIN AT THE MAIN CAMP GREGORY MINE SHAFT. SAMPLE 3968 COLLECTED AT THE SHAFT WEST OF THE MAIN SHAFT ALSO HAD LOW METAL VALUES. SAMPLE 3969 COLLECTED FROM AN OUTCROP OF QUARTZ BRECCIA ALSO HAD LOW VALUES.

Comment (Workings): SEVERAL SHAFTS AND PROSPECTS
