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): AN 1,100 FT LONG AIRSTRIP HAS BEEN BUILT NEAR THE CLAIM. ADDITIONAL WORKINGS INCLUDE SEVERAL TRENCHES ON PB-AG MINERALIZATION APPROX. 1 MILE SW OF COSNA DOME. LACK OF SURFACE EXPOSURE PROHIBITS EVALUATION OF THE EXTENT OF MINERALIZATION. HOWEVER, THE ABUNDANCE OF VEIN-TYPE OCCURRENCES IN THE LIMITED EXPOSURES POINTS TO POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANT MINERALIZATION AT DEPTH.
