About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.

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.

Comment (Ownership): NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE - ALASKA.
Comment (Geology): BEDROCK CONSISTS OF LOWER MISSISSIPPIAN-UPPER DEVONIAN KANAYUT CONGLOMERATE, COMPOSED OF A QUARTZ & CHERT PEBBLE CONGLOMERATE AND A CLEAN WHITE SANDSTONE. MISSISSIPPIAN KAYAK SHALE COMPOSED OF SILTSTONE, SHALE, & SANDSTONE IS EXPOSED AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. MINERALIZATION OCCURS AT IN SPHALERITE-BEARING SILICEOUS BRECCIA & IN A SHPALERITE- BEARING CHERT-PEBBLE CONGLOMERATE (MLA121-82). 1991 BURAU SAMPLES OF THE SANDSTONE BRECCIAS CONTAINED UP TO 15% ZINC, 1.5% LEAD, 3.4 OZ/T SILVER, AND 2000 PPM BARUIM. A MASSIVE SPHALERITE SAMPLE CONTAINED 31.4% ZINC, .49% LEAD, AND 5.9 OZ/T SILVER. (BMOF 75-92).
