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): BEDROCK IS COMPLEXLY FAULTED PRE-ORD. METASEDIMENTARY AND MAFIC VOLCANIC OR INTRUSIVE ROCKS AND YOUNGER PALEOZOIC CARBONATES. QUARTZ VEINS THAT CARRY PYRITE AND/OR COPPER SULFIDES ARE COMMON. PLACER CONCENTRATES CONTAIN MAGNETITE, PYRITE, GALENA, SILVER RICH SULFIDE, CASSITERITE, AND GOLD CEMENTED FRACTURED QUARTZ. MOST PLACERS ARE SPATIALLY CORRELATED WITH ALTERED HIGH ANGLE OR THRUST FAULT ZONES WHICH CONTAIN CRUSHED QTZ VEINLETS OR FINE SILICA W/PYRITE
