Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Deposit): WORKINGS ARE ALONG CONTACT OF OLDER SEDIMENTS AND GRANITE. THERE APPEARS TO BE ORE PILED NEXT TO THE SHAFT. MATERIAL CONSISTS OF CALCITE RICH, MN-STAINED ORE WITH SOOTY PYROLUSITE, WAD. MOST OF THE MINERALS ARE HIGHLY OXIDIZED WITH COPPER, HEMIMORPHITE?, TETRAMEDRITE AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE YELLOW-GREEN LEAD OXIDES.
