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 (Geology): Age = Probably Eocene-Oligocene.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Clark and Cobb, 1972
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = There has been surface exploration only.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Porphyry Cu-Mo(?) (Cox and Singer, 1986; 21a)
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this occurrence are the Paleocene Cantwell Formation which consists of terrigenous sedimentary rocks, including a few thin coal beds, and Eocene-Oligocene granitic plutons that intrude the Cantwell (Wilson and others, 1998). The occurrence consists of unspecified copper, molybdenum and silver minerals in the granitic rocks (Clark and Cobb, 1972).
