Satelite View

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

Comment (Deposit): WORKINGS EXPLORE A SHEAR ZONE COMPOSED MOSTLY OF QUARTZ STRINGERS WITH SOME PYRITE. SAMPLE 3174 WAS A COMPOSITE OF THE BEST LOOKING ORE FROM THE VEINS AND DUMPS.
Comment (Workings): 4 ADITS, THE BIGGEST ABOUT 50 FT LONG, ONE ABOVE THE OTHER ON THE LOWER WEST SIDE OF THE RANGE
