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 (Location): ON NORTH FLANK OF CRESCENT PEAK
Comment (Development): ECONOMIC CONCENTRATIONS OF HYPOGENE PLATINOIDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE FOUND
Comment (Deposit): STOCKWORK OF VEINS
Comment (Workings): DEEPEST WORKINGS ARE 25 M BELOW SURFACE
Comment (Geology): SPORADIC HIGH PGE VALUES ARE THOUGHT DUE TO SUPERGENE CONCENTRATION PHENOMENA. STOCK UNDERLYING CRESCENT PEAK HAS BEEN OF INTEREST AS A PORPHYRY COPPER EXPLORATION TARGET. COUNTRY ROCKS ARE PROTEROZOIC METAMORPHIC ROCKS
