Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Deposit): THE USGS MRDS ID NO. GIVEN IS FOR THE PRIMOS GROUP. OTHER NUMBERS INCLUDE M050028 (BLUEBIRD) AND M050026 (DIVIDEND TUNNEL). THE DIVIDEND TUNNEL IS ON THE SAME GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE AS THE BLUEBIRD MINE, BUT IS LOCATED 3000 FT TO THE NE OF THE BLUEBIRD PROPERTY. THE TWO PROPERTIES ARE PART OF THE PRIMOS GROUP. SEE SEQ. NO. 0040030102 (BLUEBIRD) FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.
