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

Comments
Comment (Reserve-Resource): PROVEN + PROBABLE ORE RESERVES, 12/31/96:
Comment (Workings): ADDITIONAL ANIMAL CONTROLS INCLUDE WILDLIFE NETTING OVER HEAP LEACH PONDS. PROPERTIES HAVE VERY LITTLE SILVER; THEREFORE CN CONSUMPTION IS LOW. CURRENT PLAN IS TO MINE, MILL, AND LEACH FROM 3 SEPARATE PITS. MATERIAL TYPES ARE QUITE DIFFERENT.
Comment (Production): ANNUAL PRODUCTION 1995-1996: SEE "A" RAYROCK BIBLIOGRAPHY.
