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 (Location): LATITUDE-LONGITUDE VALUES CALCULATED FROM TOWNSHIP, RANGE, SECTION. 100K Pasa Robles map location looks like might be White Mine. Lat/long location on topo map doesn't seem to fit Google Earth. Mine should be on County line.
Comment (Workings): DRILL HOLES. Drilled prior to establishment of asbestos mill in 1961.
Comment (Geology): GEOL.DESC: DISSEMINATED chromite. chromite float in serpentine landslide debris - shows little promise.
Comment (Production): About 60 tons shipped in 1955-56. concentrates averaged 49% Cr, 13% Fe, 5.4% SiO2.
