The Unnamed (northwest flank of Reindeer Hills) is a nickel and copper 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 (Deposit): Model Name = Besshi massive sulfide(?) (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 24b)
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this occurrence are Lower Cretaceous to Upper Jurassic, monotonous, intensely deformed and locally highly metamorphosed turbidites. The occurrence consists of copper- and nickel-bearing sulfide minerals disseminated in the sedimentary rocks (Clark and Cobb, 1972).
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Clark and Cobb, 1972
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = There has been surface sampling only.
Comment (Geology): Age = the sulfide minerals may be syngenetic with their Lower Cretaceous to Upper Jurassic sedimentary host rocks.
