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 = Visited briefly as part of a regional geologic mapping program by the USGS in the late 1970s (Nelson and Grybeck, 1980).
Comment (Geology): Age = Probable age of granite is Devonian.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Grybeck and Nelson, 1980
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Skarn ? (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 18)
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This occurrence consists of a small stock of foliated Devonian(?) granite that has intruded and metamorphosed shale (Nelson and Grybeck, 1980; Grybeck and Nelson, 1981). A grab sample of the metamorphosed shale contained 200 ppm Mo.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Active?
