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.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments

Comment (Workings): ONE FAIRLY LONG ADIT WITH A STEEL BULK HEAD DOOR THAT WAS UNLOCKED BUT HAD DYNAMITE SCATTERED AROUND ON THE GROUND INSIDE THE DOOR. DOZER CUT 600 FT NORTH OF ADIT.

Comment (Development): STAKED ON 3 OCT 1983 BY WESCORD- NO OTHER ACTIVITY.

Comment (Deposit): ADIT WAS DRIVEN ON A SHEAR IN GRANITE, PARTLY FILLED WITH BOTH GOUGE AND QUARTZ STRINGERS. LOCALLY THERE ARE FELSIC DIKES ALSO CROSS-CUTTING THE GANODIORITE. SAMPLE 2931 WAS TAKEN FROM THE VEIN INSIDE THE ADIT. SAMPLE 2932 WAS TAKEN FROM A PROSPECT DOZER CUT ABOUT 600 FT N OF THE ADIT WHERE A HYDROTHERMALLY ALTERED VEIN IN A SHEAR ZONE IS EXPOSED. THE SHEAR WAS PARTLY FILLED WITH A FELSIC DIKE AND QUARTZ STRINGERS. MINERALIZATION INCLUDED MINOR COPPER AND POSSIBLY SILVER IN UNIDENTIFIED SULFIDES.

Comment (Location): UTM IS FOR ADIT AT SAMPLE SITE 2931. UTM FOR SAMPLE SITE 2932 IS N 4499320, E331780. . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
