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 = Werdon, 1998

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Kennecott held claims in 1984.

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The Husky occurrence consists of galena and sphalerite in veins cutting Mississippian-Permain Endicott Group sandstones (Noatak Formation?). Husky has been interpreted as a sedimentary exhalative Zn-Pb deposit (Werden, 1998).

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Sedimentary exhalative Zn-Pb(?) (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 31a).

Comment (Geology): Age = Mississippian to Permian.

Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
