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 = Probably inactive

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Cobb, 1978 (OFR 78-1062)

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = There has been surface exploration only.

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Simple Sb (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27d)

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this occurrence are Lower Paleozoic or possibly Upper Precambrian schists, cut by Upper Cretaceous stocks and Tertiary sills and dikes. Limited information about this deposit suggests that it consists of one or more stibnite-quartz veins. Such a deposit would be of interest chiefly for its gold context.

Comment (Geology): Age = Probably Late Cretaceous or younger.
