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.

Comment (Geology): THE FULLER DEPOSIT IS IN THE MIGMATITIC PART OF THE AMPHIBOLITE, SCHIST, AND GNEISS OF THE ALTA LAKE MIGMATITE. THE MIGMATITE IS GRADATIONAL WITH THE LAYERED METAMORPHIC ROCKS AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY IRREGULAR, LENTICULAR, SWIRLED, AND CONTORTED GRANITIC, TONALITIC, APLITIC, AND PEGMATITIC LEUCOSOMES (GULICK AND KOROSEC, 1990, P. 40).
Comment (Production): REPORTEDLY, 1000 TONS OF ORE WERE SHIPPED PRIOR TO 1943; 1250 TONS WERE SHIPPED IN 1943 (HUNTTING, 1956, P. 198).
