The Pmrgx-7 is a copper 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 samples 85ACe225-227 and 85AWs299 collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980s were reported to be anomalous in antimony, arsenic, copper, and lead (Wilson and others, 1988).
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Four rock samples of altered basalt collected in this area by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980s contained anomalous values of arsenic, antimony, copper, and lead (Wilson and others, 1988). The basalt is part of the late Eocene to early Oligocene Popof volcanic rocks (Wilson and others, 1995).
Comment (Geology): Age = Eocene or younger.
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
