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): Model Name = Lode; sediment-hosted vein and breccia vein Pb-Zn-Ag.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Sulfide minerals and malachite occur in quartz veinlets and breccia in sandstone of Upper Devonian Kanayut Conglomerate, possibly at the base of a thrust sheet overriding black, carbonaceous and locally pyritiferous siltstone and shale of the Lower Mississippian Kayak Shale.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Meyer and Kurtak (1992)
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Mineralization is confined to a 20 ft (6.1 m) by 50 ft (15.2 m) area; a high-grade sample contained 4.31% Pb, 0.12% Zn, and 2.4 oz/t Ag (Meyer and Kurtak, 1992, p. 46-60).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
