The Delangle Mountain Magnetite is a iron mine located in Alaska at an elevation of 2,500 feet.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.

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.

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): CLAIM LAPSED NO CURRENT OWNER. ON DELANGE MOUNTAIN A LAYERED GABBRO INTRUSSIVE IN AN EXPOSED THICKNESS OF 2,000 FT DISPLAY SYNFORMAL STRUCTURE. ALTHOUGH THE EXPOSURE REVEALS NEITHER TOP NOR BOTTOM CONTACT, LAYER ARE DELINEATED BY VARIATIONS IN COMPOSITION AND TEXTURE OF THE CONSTITUENT MINERALS. DURING THE CUMULUS PROCESS CONSIDERED TO HAVE CAUSUED THE LAYERING, RECRSTALLIZATION WITHIN THE GRADATIONAL ZONE OF THE SURROUNDING ROCK OCCURED. HORNBLENDE- PLAGIOCLASE PEGMATITES FORMED IN THE GABBRO NEAR THE CONTACT. MAGNETITE OCCURS THROUGHOUT THE PEGMATITE BUT TENDS TO BE CONCENTRATED NEAR THE LARGER HORNBLENDE AND PLAGIOCLASE CRYSTALS. PLACED CHIP SAMPLES WERE ASSAYED AND SHOWED > 10% FE , > 1% TI & CU 150-500 PPM. TI VALUES MAY BE MUCH HIGHER UPPER DETECTION LIMIT 1%.
