Satelite View

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

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property.

Comments
Comment (Deposit): "Past production, uranophane in limonite-stained claystone-sandstone in North Park Form.(?) (Miocene) some assays show 0.32% U3O8." (MINOBRAS, p. A-8)
Comment (Identification): Uncertain if Del Oro #2 (10157440) is ths same as Del Oro (10108470). ABW left 2 separate records, but if anyone has more information, perhaps they should be combined. Del Oro #2 could also be the same as Ketchum Butte, the prospect on the topo in center E2 of Sec. 8.
