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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Surface exploration has been done on the property.

Comment (Geology): Age = If it is a porphyry-Cu deposit, it is likely to be from one of the three porphyry ages in eastern interior Alaska: 90 to 100 Ma, 70 Ma, or 55 Ma.

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Possibly a Cu-porphyry deposit (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 21a)

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = MacKevett and Holloway, 1977

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The Noah prospect is a copper prospect in Precambrian and/or Paleozoic quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss (amphibolite grade) near a Mesozoic or Tertiary pluton (Foster, 1970; MacKevett and Holloway, 1977). No more information is available.
