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.
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 (Deposit): DISC. 1938. NO CLAIMS. SEVERAL ALTERED & MINERALIZED ZONES WITHIN CONTACT ZONE OF PREDOMINANTLY DIORITIC TERRAIN AND GREENSTONE, PHYLLITE OR GRANODIORITE GENERALLY NEAR INTRUSIVE CONTACTS. A FEW ALTERED ZONES NEAR MAFIC DIKES. FEW SULFIDE LENSES PRESENT. BEST VALUES: 1000 PPM CU, TRACE OF MO & AG. SULFIDES: PYRITE & VERY LITTLE CHALCOPYRITE ZONES LARGE BUT TOO LOW GRADE TO ENCOURAGE EXPLORATION. NO ALASKA KARDEX. POINT TO INCLUDE COPPER MINERALIZATION FOR 2 MILES EAST AND WEST OF PLOTTED POINT. EQUIVALENT TO MACKEVETT LOCATION NUMBER 64 AND BREW LOCATION NUMBER 28.
