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 (Production): As of 1976 the Gas Hills had produced the most uranium in Wyoming and had the largest number of mills and mining operations.
Comment (Identification): Cameco has the Gas Hills-Peach Project. Location is very vague. Likely that this property/project is in the same area as the former Peach Mine (see MINOBRAS, p. 32, 33, #4).
Comment (Identification): Strathmore Minerals has the Gas Hills Project (may contain Red Creek, Bullrush, Loco-Lee, Suns, Jeep, George-Ver, Frazier LeMac, Amazon, Beaver Rim, Day Loma, Andria, New Rock Hills). No 43-101 yet filed, so location and description of property is vague. Only information about this Project is from Strathmore website and press releases (from Strathmore's website).
Comment (Names): Too many names to list individually: McNiece discovery, D-8 Pit, E Pits, Peach Mine, Lisbon shaft, Hidden Splendor, Lucky Mc No. 1, Lucky Mc No. 2, Lucky Mc No. 4, School Section Mine, Sagebrush Mine, Tablestakes Mine, Tee Mine, Ran-Rex, Pay-Aljob, Dee, Blobe Mine, Loco pits, Ridge Mine, Wentz Mine, Lee Mine, Skyline Mine, Boss MIne, Pay No. 9 Mine, Russ Mine, Pix, Veco Mines, Blackstone No. 5 Mine, Boutiful, Redwood Mine, Two States Mine, Buss Mine, Russ-Buss, Mars, Bengal Mine, Yellow Buck Mine, Levi Mine, PC Mine, Rox and Thunderbird shafts, Rim Mine, Lucky McNoble Mine, Stan Mine, Bullrush Mine, George No. 12 and No. 13, George No. 2, Eureka Mine, Bridger Mine, Dick Mine, Sunset Mine, Bart Mine, Day-Loma, Clyde Mine, D-1, D-3, D-26 wall pits, Hunter Lease, Upetco Hope, Phine Mines 3 and 4, Andria Mine, Blarco Mines 1 and 3, Idiot's Delight. Also potentially overlapping older properties: Vitro, John Mine, Jay Mine, Frazier-Lamac Mine, Sateco Mine, Jiggs No. 4 claim, Russ 8 claim, Joy Claim.
