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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = In 1996, Westmin Resources was actively exploring in the area and planning to drill the following summer. (Note added in 1998: apparently they did not.)
Comment (Production): Production Notes = None
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = This description
Comment (Reserve-Resource): Reserves = None
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Target probably was volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = In 1996, Westmin Resources was active in Brushy Creek and planned to drill the following summer (based on field work by D. J. Grybeck, 1996 and on common knowledge of residents in the area). Target likely to be volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit similar to others along the Duncan-Zarembo mineral belt simply on basis of the favorability of the area for such deposits.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Active
