The C & B Vanadium Mine is a vanadium mine located in Gila county, Arizona.
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 (Workings): DEPTH REFERS TO 20 FT ADIT EXISTING IN 1925. DURING SUBSEQUENT WORK A NUMBER OF ADITS AND ONE SEVERAL HUNDRED FT SHAFT WERE DUG.
Comment (Production): A LITTLE ORE HAS BEEN MINED AND SOME IS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN SHIPPED DURING WWI.
Comment (Geology): PARAGENETIC SEQUENCE IS VANADINITE, MIMETITE, DESCLOIZITE, CALCITE. VANADINITE & WULFENITE ARE PRESENT IN SOFT MATERIAL AND AS COATINGS ON BRECCIATED DIABASE FOR WIDTHS OF A FEW FEET. CAVITIES LEFT BY OXIDIZED GALENA CRYSTALS ALSO CONTAIN VANADINITE
