The Unnamed (near north end of Wyoming Hills) is a lead and silver mine located in Alaska.
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 (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Surface only.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Berg and Cobb, 1967
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = Prospect is in Denali National Park Wilderness.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this prospect are Devonian metavolcanic schist and phyllite. Limited published information suggests that the deposit consists of silver-bearing galena-sphalerite-calcite-quartz veins in the metamorphic rocks. This description is largely inferred from Berg and Cobb's (1967) description of silver-rich lead-zinc veins in the Kantishna district.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Polymetallic veins (Cox and Singer, 1986; 22c)
