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 = Reed and others, 1978
Comment (Commodity): Gangue = Mariposite
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Reconnaissance mapping and rock sampling by the U.S. Geological Survey (Reed and others, 1978) are all that have been described here. This site is an unconfirmed location of gold-bearing mariposite-rich boulders by Reed and others (1978).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This site is given as an unconfirmed location of gold-bearing mariposite-rich boulders by Reed and others (1978). This area drains Paleozoic sedimentary rocks south of the Denali Fault (Reed and Nelson, 1980).
Comment (Geology): Age = Paleozoic ; boulders were likely derived from the Paleozoic rocks mapped by Reed and Nelson (1980) upstream from this site.
