The Unnamed is a copper mine located in Alaska.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
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 (Geology): Age = Jurassic or younger, mineralization is hosted by altered granitic rocks of Jurassic age.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Miller and others, 1978
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Extent of exploration is apparently only the collection of a surface grab sample. Analysis of the float sample yielded 0.1 ppm Au, 2,000 ppm Cu, and 10 ppm Pb (Miller and others, 1978).
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Float sample of altered Jurassic granitic rock contained pyrite and malachite. Analysis of the float sample yielded 0.1 ppm Au, 2,000 ppm Cu, and 10 ppm Pb (Miller and others, 1978).
Comment (Geology): Age = Host rock is Jurassic.
