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): INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)

Comment (Development): VERY MINOR PRODUCTION, JUDGING FROM SMALL PILE OF TAILINGS IN WASH. WORKINGS APPEAR TO BE FROM EARLY TO MID 1900'S. NO ACTIVITY HERE IN 1984, BUT A BULLDOZER IS LEVELING AN AREA IN ALLUVIUM 0.5 KM TO THE WEST, POSSIBLY FOR SOMESORT OF TEST HEAP LEACH PAD FOR PREBLE ORE. ALSO THERE ARE RECENT DRILL HOLES 0.2-0.3 KM WEST OF THE OLD WORKINGS (FRAG CLAIMS.)

Comment (Workings): 5-6 SHORT ADITS, ALL PROBABLY 5-50M LONG. APPARENTLY A SMALL MILLWAS LOCATED IN THE WASH BELOW THE WORKINGS AS THERE ARE A FEW HUNDRED CUBIC METERS OF TAILINGS

Comment (Deposit): MASSIVE WHITE TO CLEAR QUARTZ VEIN FOLLOWING A LOW-ANGLE THRUST FAULT THAT SEPARATES BROWN-WEATHERING DOLOMITE IN THE LOWER PLATE FROM MEDIUM GRAY LIMESTONE IN THE UPPER PLATE. THE FOOTWALL JUST BELOW THE VEIN IS HIGHLY CONTORTED GRAY PHYLLITE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS 0.5 CM WIDE VEINLETS OF CALCITE IN THE UPPER PLATE LIMESTONE. QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL IS COMMONLY STAINED WITH IRON OXIDE MINERALS.
