The Pmrgx-14 is a silver, zinc, and lead 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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Rock sample 83APk33 collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980s was reported to be anomalous in antimony, arsenic, copper, lead, silver, tin, and zinc (Wilson and others, 1988).
Comment (Geology): Age = Tertiary.
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = This site is located on land selected by the Aleut Corporation.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurrence consists of a 3-inch vein of fine-grained, massive sulfides in andesite that intrudes sedimentary units of the Paleocene to Eocene Tolstoi Formation (Wilson and others, 1995). The locality is approximately 2,500 feet southeast of the contact of the American Bay batholith. One rock sample collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980's was reported to be anomalous in antimony, arsenic, copper, lead, silver, tin, and zinc (Wilson and others, 1988).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Polymetallic vein (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 22c)
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Wilson and others, 1988
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
