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.

BLOCK OF ORE IN NO. 3 LEVEL DEVELOPED ON 3 SIDES BETWEEN NO. 1 AND A LEVELS. NUMEROUS STOPES.

Comment (Geology): LAMPROPHYRE DIKES INTRUDE GRANODIORITE. IN LEVEL A, WALLS OF GRANODIORITE ARE DECOMPOSED AND RUN LIKE SAND. DIKES FEW IN. THICK, BUT OCCASIONALLY WIDEN IN IRREGULAR LENSES. APPARENTLY ONE DIKE INTRUDED GRANODIORITE, THEN WAS BROKEN INTO SECTIONS BY SMALL CROSS FAULTS. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DIKE ROCKS IN AVERILL (1931).
