Pmrgx-2

The Pmrgx-2 is a copper 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 = Samples 85AWs 294-296 and 82ADt collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980s were reported to be marginally anomalous in copper, lead, arsenic, and antimony (Wilson and others, 1988).

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Polymetallic vein (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 22c)

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurrence consists of a pyrite-rich dolomitic vein that cuts sheared volcaniclastic rocks of the late Eocene to early Oligocene Popof volcanic rocks (Wilson and others, 1995). Samples of the vein and of nearby rhyolite were reported to be marginally anomalous in copper, lead, arsenic, and antimony (Wilson and others, 1988).

Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = This site is located on land patented by, or interim-conveyed to, the Aleut Corporation.

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Wilson and others, 1988

Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
