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 = Koch's scanty description of this occurrence in his (1997) report may have been taken from a U.S. Bureau of Mines claim map, but there is no reference to one in his report. Site is in Misty Fiords National Monument.

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this reported occurrence are Tertiary or Cretaceous leucocratic quartz monzonite and granodiorite of the Coast Range Batholith, and roof pendants of Mesozoic or Paleozoic metapelitic and metavolcanic strata, locally including marble (Koch, 1996). On Koch's (1997) map, the occurrence appears to be in the plutonic rocks between metamorphic roof pendants, or alternatively, in an outcrop of metamorphic rocks too small to show at the scale of Koch's map. Other than location and unverified occurrence of silver, no other geologic information about this site has been made public

Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Koch, 1997
