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.

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): NO ALASKA KARDEX. NO RECORD EVER CLAIMED. SIMILAR MINERALIZATION TO THAT OF BRADY GLACIER. NUMEROUS ROUGHLY PARALLEL STAIN ZONES WERE OBSERVED. ACCESS TO DEPOSIT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. ZONES SIMILAR TO THOSE FOUND AT NORTH WALL OF SOUTH CRILLON. CHIP SAMPLES TAKEN.
