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.

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Hummel, 1975

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Hummel (1975) identified this occurrence as a mineralized vein or fault and noted that metallization was confirmed by assay or other chemical analysis, but no other information was given. Host rocks in this area are calcareous metasedimentary rocks (Hummel, 1962 [MF 248]).
