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 (Production): PRODUCTION INFORMATION INCLUDES ENTIRE DISTRICT
Comment (Deposit): MILKY, MASSIVE TO VERY SLIGHTLY DRUSY QUARTZ VEINS CUT IRON-STAINED META-RHYOLITE (?) OF THE TRIASSIC KOIPATO GROU-P. THE FOOTWALL OF THE VEIN ZONE IS A 4 M WIDE GRANODIORITE DI-KE. THE VEINS ARE 10-50 CM (LOCALLY TO 1 M) WIDE EACH AND OCCU-R IN A ZONE ABOUT 15 M WIDE. THE ZONE AND MANY VEINS WITHIN IT- TREND DUE NORTH, DIP 65-70 E. ONLY LIMONITE BOXWORKS AND GOSS-AN ARE NOTED IN THE VEIN MATTER, AND THE VEINS RESEMBLE THOSE -AT THE AUBURN MINE. NO SULFIDE MINERALS WERE NOTED. RECENT EXP-LORATION WORK HAS BEEN FOR DISSEMINATED GOLD DEPOSIT.; MODEL NAME COULD ALSO BE: POLYMETALLIC VEINS.
Comment (Workings): ADITS, TUNNELS, GLORY HOLES STOPED TO SURFACE; ADITS WITH CAVED PORTALS (1984); SOME PLACERING
Comment (Geology): VEIN ZONE IS 100 FT. WIDE AND CONTAINS 4 PARALLEL VEINS AVERAGING 2 1/2 FT. WIDE. VEIN MATERIAL IS HARD, WHITE QUARTZ IN SILICIFIED ANDESITE.
Comment (Deposit): DEVELOPED BY SEVERAL TUNNELS, TOTAL LENGTH OF WORKINGS AROUND 2,000 FEET. GOLD AND SILVER REPORTEDLY MINED FROM SEVERAL ADITS STOPED TO SURFACE TO FORM 100 FT-WIDE GLORY HOLE. BEST VALUES WERE OBTAINED WITHIN 75 FT. OF SURFACE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT; 3 FIELD OBSERV
Comment (Development): CURRENT PROPERTY COVERS MORE THAN 1313 ACRES INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF 30 NEW LODE CLAIMS AND 8 PLACER CLAIMS. IN -1983-84, NEGOTIATIONS TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY WERE UNDERWAY WI-TH AN UNNAMED PARTY. IF AN AGREEMENT WAS REACHED, DRILLING WAS- TO BEGIN IN 1984 ON THIS DISSEMINATED GOLD DEPOSIT. IT WAS ON- HOLD AWAITING FINANCING IN 1984, BUT NO ACTIVITY WAS NOTED DU-RING 1984 NBMG FIELD EXAMINATION.
