The Lone Indian Mountain 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.

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 = Grab samples of ferricrete gossan collected by DiMarchi and others (1994) contained 803 ppm copper, 148 ppm zinc, and 803 ppm lead. A stream sediment sample collected in Bridge Creek to the west contained 210 ppb gold.

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = DiMarchi and others, 1994

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Polymetallic vein? (Cox and Singer, 1986; model no. 22c)

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The Lone Indian Mountain occurrence consists of a ferrigenous quartz-bearing gossan hosted in PreCambrian and Paleozoic schist and marble (DiMarchi and others, 1994). Some quartz-eyed schists in the section are thought to be metavolcanic rocks (Patton and others, 1980). No dimensions of the mineralized zone are given. No ore minerals were recognized. Grab samples of ferricrete gossan collected by DiMarchi and others (1994) contained 803 ppm copper, 148 ppm zinc, and 803 ppm lead. A stream sediment sample collected in Bridge Creek to the west contained 210 ppb gold.

Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
