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 (Exploration): Status = Probably inactive
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Alaska Division of Mines and Minerals, 1964
Comment (Reserve-Resource): Reserves = Not defined
Comment (Production): Production Notes = Not recorded
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Very little is recorded about this placer mining operation. Dozer and sluice operations have taken place on the lower part of the creek, between elevations of 265 and 320 feet and within 1 mile of the confluence with the American River. Bedrock in the area is a metapelitic assemblage of unknown but probable Paleozoic age.
Comment (Geology): Age = Quaternary
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Dozer and sluice operations have taken place along about a half mile of the creek between elevations of 265 and 320 feet.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Alluvial Au placer (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
