Mine Info
Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Workings): INCLINED SHAFT AND PROSPECTS. THE INCLINE WAS SUNK ON THE DIP SLOPE OF THE MARBLE
Comment (Geology): THE INCLINE MUST HAVE CUT BACK TO THE VEIN AT DEPTH BECAUSE THE VEIN MATERIAL ON THE DUMP CAME FROM THE FISSURE VEIN. THE VEIN MATERIAL CONSISTS OF IRON- STAINED HIGHLY OXIDIZED MATERIAL AND STRINGERS OF QUARTZ BRECCIA.
Comment (Location): ACCESS TO THE AREA IS FROM BRUNSWICK CANYON
Comment (Deposit): VEIN FOLLOWS A FAULT CONTACT BETWEEN A MARBLE AND A RECRYSTALLIZED TUFF.
