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): INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Development): INACTIVE IN 1984
Comment (Deposit): WORKINGS EXPLORE BEDROCK CONTACT BETWEEN N 70 E, 45 NW STRIKING HORNFELS AND OVERLYING BOULDER GRAVELS; GRAVELS DRAPE OVER BEDROCK, CONTAIN HIGHLY STREAM-POLISHED QUARTZITE BOULDERS UP TO 3 FEET IN DIAMETER. OLD WORKINGS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN MAINLY IN THE GRAVEL, BUT SOME MINING OF BEDROCK WAS DONE. CUT IN HORNFELS BENEATH GRAVEL EXPLORES N 40 W, 70 SW FRACTURE ZONE, WHICH HAS 2-6 INCH THICK BANDS OF BRECCIATED HORNFELS CEMENTED BY WHITE QUARTZ AND LIMONITE; ZONE IS ABOUT 3 FT WIDE.
Comment (Workings): PITS ANT CUTS IN GRAVEL; DRIFTS ALONG CONTACT
