The Telida Mountain is a tin 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 = Patton and Moll, 1983
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The U.S. Geological Survey found anomalous tin, tungsten, berylium cadmium, and silver in both stream sediment and pan concentrate samples of the general occurrence area Grades of the mineralized float are not available.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Tin-Polymetallic Veins (?) (Cox and Singer, 1986; model no. 20b)
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = See Win (MD060), Won - North (MD021), Won - South (MD024), and Gemini (MD023) prospects. The Telida Mountain occurrence is on lands conveyed to Doyon Ltd. For further information, contact Doyon Ltd at 210 1st Ave., Fairbanks, Alaska, 99701.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Float that contained disseminated cassiterite was detected in granitic rocks of the Telida Mountains Pluton during reconnaissance exploration work by ASA Inc. The exploration was following up several anomalous areas recommended by the U.S. Geological Survey (Patton and Moll, 1983). The U.S. Geological Survy found anomalous tin, tungsten, berlylium, cadmium, and silver in stream sediment and pan concentrate samples in the area (King and others, 1983).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
