The Unnamed (north of Mitrofania Harbor) 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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Wilson and others, 1988
Comment (Deposit): Other Comments = This site is in the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge, near the boundary of land selected by the Bristol Bay Native Corporation.
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurrence is probably in a mudstone unit of the Upper Cretaceous Hoodoo Formation (Wilson and others, 1995). At this location hornfelsed mudstone crops out near hypabyssal andesite or dacite plugs and dikes (Wilson and others, 1988). Samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey were reported to be anomalous in antimony, copper, and zinc (Wilson and others, 1988).
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Rock samples 84ACe117 and 84ACe 122, collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-1980's, were reported to be anomalous in antimony, copper, and zinc (Wilson and others, 1988).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
