Satelite View

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

Comment (Commodity): TUNGSTEN
Comment (Deposit): MINED IN 1912, 1940-47-FOR TUNGSTEN FROM 1941-43, 1955-56
Comment (Workings): 300 FT SHAFT, 5 LEVELS: 80, 100, 150, 200, AND 300 FEET.
Comment (Geology): SCHEELITE IS VERY CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH MAGNETITE ROCK
Comment (Deposit): MANY OPEN PITS AND TRENCHES HAVE BEEN CUT. ONE TRENCH JUST EAST OF THE SHAFT FOLLOWS A GARNETIFEROUS COPPER VEIN N10 DEG W. THE TRENCH WALLS ARE COATED WITH AZURITE & MALACHITE. THE TRENCH IS 25 FT WIDE, 80 FT DEEP AND 250 FT LONG. THIS REPRESENTS THE 80 FT LEVEL THAT WAS STOPED TO THE SURFACE.
