Mine Info

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): THE BUNKER HILL STOCK AND THE VARIOUS DIKES ASSOCIATED WITH IT IS THE SOURCE OF THE ORE-BEARING SOLUTIONS.

Comment (Geology): THE AGE OF THE BUNKER HILL STOCK IS PROBABLY CRETACEOUS. THE ORE BODIES ARE PROBABLY CRETACEOUS TO TERTIARY.

Comment (Names): PROPERTY IS NOW PART OF THE RAILROAD PROPERTY.

Comment (Reserve-Resource): BECAUSE ORE IS HIGH GRADE, IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE MILLED. ORE CAN BE SENT DIRECTLY TO SMELTER.
