Satelite View

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

Comment (Geology): CANTWELL DEPOSIT OF RHODONITE-RHODOCHROSITE IS A SMALL LENS IN STEEPLY DIPPING PALEO-MESOZOIC METASEDIMENTS. AREA BETWEEN DEPOSIT AND CANTWELL FAVORABLE FOR LARGER DEPOSITS. EXPLORATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT; LOW RELIEF, DEEP OVERBURDEN. BUMINES CONDUCTED DOZER-TRENCHING OPERATIONS IN 1952 (SEE BACK-UP FILE). USGS CRIB A001272 USGS CRIB A001273
