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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Old prospect pits that revealed gold mineralization were followed up with soil sampling and reverse circulation drilling in 1997.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = This description
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Carbonaceous, schist-hosted, gold-bearing quartz veins and gouge.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Altered, carbonaceous schist in old prospect pits assayed 60 ppb gold. The highest assay of approximately 520 soil samples was 725 ppb gold. Six reverse circulation holes were drilled in the area and returned assays of 60 feet of 154 ppb gold and 10 feet of 140 ppb gold (D. McCoy, written commun., 1999).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
