The Unnamed (coast south of Apollo Mountain) is a copper 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 (Deposit): Other Comments = This site is located on land patented by, or interim-conveyed to, the Aleut Corporation.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Christie, 1974
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The Aleut-Quintana-Duval joint venture examined and sampled this site in 1974 (Christie, 1974).
Comment (Geology): Age = Eocene or younger.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This site represents a color anomaly that covers an area of 1 by 2 miles (Christie, 1974, anomaly 80). Within the anomaly Christie noted diorite and argillically altered volcanic rock containing as much as 20 percent disseminated pyrite. Samples of the volcanic rock contained as much as 0.01 ppm gold, 1.8 ppm silver, 48 ppm copper, 55 ppm zinc, and 1.6 ppm molybdenum. The rocks are mapped as the Eocene to Oligocene Popof volcanic rocks (Wilson and others, 1995).
