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 (Geology): HYDROZINCITE IS ANOTHER MAIN ZINC MINERAL. THERE IS SOME RADIOACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH LIMONITE.
Comment (Geology): WULFENITE WAS FOUND IN ONE INSTANCE IN A LENS OR BLOCK 130 FT. LONG, 160 FT. HIGH, AND 10-30 FT. WIDE. THE DOLOMITE BRECCIA ZONE IS LENS-SHAPED, AS ARE THE ORE BODIES WITHIN THE BRECCIA.
