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 (Reserve-Resource): THE QUANTITY MATRIX ONE COMES FROM THE UTAH GEOLOGICAL AND MINERAL SURVEY ECONOMIC GEOLOGY SECTION ESTIMATES MADE IN 1976. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACTIVITY SINCE THIS YEAR. THE GRADE IN THE QUANTITY MATRIX COMES FROM PAGE 142 OF THE OPEN-FILE REPORT 22 BY UGMS.

Comment (Deposit): ZINC, LEAD, SILVER, AND COPPER WERE HISTORICALLY PRESENT IN THE LAKEVIEW MINES. PRESENTLY THERE IS POSSIBLY SOME SIL- VER AND COPPER BUT THE GRADES ARE UNKNOWN. SEVERAL PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS WERE HELD WITH THE UGMS PERSONNEL. FROM THESE COMMUNICATIONS IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE LAKEVIEW MINES IS DEPLETED AND THERE ARE NO PLANS TO DO EXPLORATION IN SEARCH OF ADDITIONAL RESERVES.

Comment (Ownership): THE LAKEVIEW MINING COMPANY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO TRACE AND PROBABLY IT IS DISSOLVED. THIS STATEMENT WAS MADE IN OCT. 27, 1980 BY H.H. DOELLING, CHIEF ECONOMIC GEOLOGY SECTION, UTAH GEOLOGICAL AND MINERAL SURVEY.
