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 (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1986, BUT DRILLING HAS OCCURRED IN THE AREA WITHIN THE PAST 5 YEARS. REMNANTS OF OLD CABIN AND VESTIGES OF A ROAD FROM WEST CAN BE SEEN.

Comment (Deposit): ADIT FOLLOWS VEIN IN ALTERED ANDESITE. IRON-STAINED QUARTZ STRINGERS AND BLEACHED, ARGILLIZED GOUGE FILL THE 14-INCH VEIN. SAMPLE FROM VEIN WAS IN PART VUGGY WITH OPEN SPACE FILLINGS AND MN OXIDE COATINGS. MINERALIZATION INCLUDES CLOTS OF GALENA AND GRAY WISPY STREAKS OF UNIDENTIFIED SULFIDES. OTHER NEARBY WORKINGS EXPLORE NARROW VEINS IN SHEARS.

Comment (Workings): SMALL SHAFT, SEVERAL ADITS AND PROSPECTS; DRILLING

Comment (Location): ABOUT 0.75 MILE N 60 W OF ELLENDALE MINE; ACCESSIBLE BY FAIR ROAD FROM MCKINNEY TANKS ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
