The Unnamed (south end of Inner IIiasik Island) is 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 (Deposit): Other Comments = This site is located on land selected by the Aleut Corporation.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This site is a large color anomaly that extends approximately 5,000 feet north-south and 1,000 to 2,000 feet east-west. The map site is at the south end of the anomaly. The anomaly marks altered, pyrite-bearing, diorite, volcanic, and epiclastic rocks (Christie, 1974) mapped as Miocene volcanic rocks (Wilson and others, 1995). The anomaly is cut off to the east by the sea; some of the system is probably under water.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Christie, 1974
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The Aleut-Quintana-Duval joint venture briefly examined the site in 1974 (Christie, 1974).
Comment (Geology): Age = Miocene or younger.
