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 (Deposit): 2 TYPES OF MINERALIZED FAULTS WERE NOTED:(1) IRON-RICH GOSSAN (ORIGINALLY SULFIDE-RICH) ALONG FAULT ZONES, AND (2) MASSIVE WHITE QUARTZ VEINS WITH SPARSE (LESS THAN 1%) GALENA. LAMPROPHYRE DIKES CUT ACROSS QUARTZ VEINS AND PARALLEL AND CUT THE GOSSAN-RICH ZONES. THESE DIKES ARE NOT HYDRO THERMALLY ALTERED AND ARE PROBABLY POST-HYPOGENE ORE.
