The Cold Creek is a gold 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 = This report
Comment (Geology): Age = Quaternary.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Hand or small-scale mechanical placer workings occur at several places along this creek at some unknown time (field examination by C.C. Hawley, 1995).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a).
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Cold Creek has been placer mined for gold by small-scale mechanical or hand methods at several places. Possible lode sources of gold and stibnite in the Cold Creek drainage are the Breen West mine (NM087) and an unnamed antimony-gold (?) occurrence (NM088). The Cold Creek drainage has a geologic setting similar to that of nearby Grouse Creek (NM099).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Probably inactive
