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): LOW-GRADE DEPOSIT NEAR CONTACT BETWEEN INTERMEDIATE TO MAFIO INTRUSIVE ROCKS AND METAMORPHOSED VOLC. AND SED. ROCKS. PROBABLY LARGE BUT LOW GRADE CONSISTING OF VEINLETS, DISSEM. GRAINS, AND LENSES OF MAGNETITE IN BOTH THE INTRUSIVE AND THE METAMORPHIC ROCKS (B1246) DIFFICULT TO SEPARATE TITANIUM FROM IRON. RATIO OF TITANIUM TO IRON LOWER THAN IN SIMILAR NEW YORK STATE DEPOSITS.
