The Coffee East is a gold 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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Freeman and others, 1998
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Soil sampling and reverse circulation drilling examined a northeast trending gold-bismuth anomaly, but no substantial intercepts were encountered (Freeman and others, 1998).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Gold-quartz vein.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Six reverse circulation holes were placed over a strong narrow, northeast trending gold-bismuth anomaly (Freeman and others, 1998). The holes were drilled near a 947 ppb and 1,337 ppb gold anomaly. Although altered upper plate rocks were encountered in all of the holes, assays returned only scattered intercepts ranging from 100 to 400 ppb Au.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
