The Keevy Peak is a zinc and lead 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 (Deposit): Model Name = Kuroko massive sulfide (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 28a)
Comment (Exploration): Status = Probably inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The general area of the Peaches prospect is underlain by Lower .Paleozoic or possibly Upper Precambrian schists cut by Late Cretaceous stocks and Tertiary sills and dikes. The deposit is in schist, and consists of stratiform layers of massive sulfides, chiefly galena and sphalerite, accompanied by quartz and sericite (Inmet Mining, oral communication, 1999).
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = There has only been surface exploration to date.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = This record.
Comment (Geology): Age = Mineralization probably is syngenetic with the Lower Paleozoic or Upper Precambrian host rocks.
