Mine Info
Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Location): MINOBRAS shows several ground disturbances in Sec. 4, mostly in the W2, on pl. 8, p. 25.
Comment (Location): Poison Basin Claim (MRDS DC06983 = 10018835) coordinates WGS84 41.06875, -107.75528 derived from PLSS of 13N, 92W, Sec. 28 and 29.
Comment (Identification): Owner-Operator of Poison Bsin #10 (MAS 0560070199 = 10303361) was listed as Shawano Uranium, Alex L Guterma. This suggests that the Shawano Group in Poison Basin is the same as this group. Perhaps more record consolidation is needed?
