The Unnamed (near head of Camp Creek) is a zinc and copper 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 (Geology): Geologic Description = These occurrences are small, northeast-alined gossans two miles apart. The southwestern one (R-2280) consists of scattered float of gossanous breccia in quartz-chlorite schist rubble. One sample contained 400 ppm copper, 400 ppm zinc, 55 ppb gold, and 39 ppm molybdenum. The northeastern one (R-2283) is similar, but the gossanous breccia rubble-crop is gray schistose quartzite, instead of schist. One sample yielded 163 ppm copper and 265 ppm zinc (Flanigan, 1998). Also see NL002 and NL009-011.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Flanigan, 1998
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = This occurrence was discovered by Anaconda Minerals Company in 1980 (Flanigan, 1998).
Comment (Geology): Age = Based on similarities with the Paw Print (NL009) occurrence and proximity to the Round Top (NL011) intrusion, these occurrences may be coeval with Round Top intrusion, which is about 73 Ma (Flanigan, 1998).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Probably inactive
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Plutonic-related (?) Pb-Zn deposit
