The Pmrgx-18 is a lead and zinc 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): Age = Miocene or younger.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Wilson and others, 1988
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks at this site are altered sandstone and volcanic rocks cut by andesite dikes and sills (Wilson and others, 1988). The volcanic rocks are mapped as Miocene (Wilson and others, 1995). Five samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980s were reported to be anomalous in arsenic, barium, copper, lead, tin, and zinc (Wilson and others, 1988).
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = the site is located on land selected or patented by, or interim-conveyed to, the Aleut Corporation.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Rock samples 85ADt344-348 collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980s were reported to be anomalous in arsenic, barium, copper, lead, tin, and zinc (Wilson and others, 1988).
