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 (Location): RIGHT IN DEER LODGE CANYON
Comment (Deposit): ALTERED ROCK ON DUMP DISPLAYS A POROUS CLAY-ALTERED MATRIX CONTAINING ALTERED FELDSPAR AND FRESH BIOTITE PHENOCRYSTS IN ADDITION TO RHYOLITIC-LATITIC VOLCANIC ROCK FRAGMENTS. SAMPLE 1708 IS FROM THE DUMP AND CONSISTS OF A MAROON-COLORED RHYOLITE OR LATITE WITH SANIDINE AND K-FELD SPAR PHENOCRYSTS SHOWING SOME EFFECTS OF SILICIFICATION AND/OR KAOLINITIZATION. ALSO THE ROCKS CONTAIN SMALL VUGS ENCRUSTED WITH QUARTZ AND IRON OXIDES THE ROCKS ARE IRON-STAINED, SHOW SOME GOSSANY COATINGS AND VUG FILLINGS AND HAVE QUARTZ-FILLED VEINLETS OR CRACKS. THERE IS NO OBVIOUS MINERALIZATION ON DUMP BUT, AS MENTIONED, VOLCANIC ROCKS SHOW ALTERATION EFFECTS, IE SILICIFICATION, IRON-STAINING, BLEACHING. IRON OXIDES ARE POSSIBLY AFTER OXIDIZED PYRITE
