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 (Geology): Mineral described as "unknown 'N'" in RME-3125, revised to carnotite and tyuyamunite in RME-3137.
Comment (Identification): Location in 35N, 65W, sec. 20 as described in both RMEs is distinct from record with same/similar name (Nelson Ranch, 10279060) in 35N, 66W, Sec. 24.
Comment (Location): Location unverified. Listed in both RMEs as 35N, R65W, sec. 20. BUT original record 10081148 had T36N, 65W, Sec. 20 supposedly citing RME-3125. Possibly a typo?
