Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1775)
Comment (Development): DISTRICT WAS ACTIVE IN THE LATE 1800'S. RECENT ACTIVITY SPARKED BY DISCOVERY OF GA & GE MINERALIZATION NEAR BY. RICH REED, A CONSULTANT FROM BOSIE IDAHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS PROPERTY
Comment (Deposit): ORE OCCURS AS HIGHLY OXIDIZED REPLACEMENT ORE IN PODS HOSTED BY BRECCIATED LIMESTONE. MINERALIZED ZONE STRIKES N 10 E TO N 20 E. COMPLETELY OXIDIZED TO LIMONITE. NUMEROUS THIN CALCITE VEINS PRESENT.
Comment (Workings): WORKINGS CONSIST OF TWO SHAFTS AND ONE PROSPECT PIT. EACH SHAFT ABOUT 50 FEET DEEP.
Comment (Geology): PROSPECTS LIE NEAR A THRUST FAULT CONTACT BETWEEN UNDERLYING UNDIFFERENTIATED, OLDER LIMESTONE TO THE EAST AND THE KAIBAB LIMESTONE TO THE WEST. SEVERAL NORTH-SOUTH STRIKING NORMAL FAULTS LIE JUST WEST OF THE PROSPECTS. VEINS STRIKE N 10 E TO N 20 E
