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): ANOMALY IN RED-BROWN FINE GRAINED SANDSTONES & CLAYSTONES & RED-BROWN SHALES OF GREEN RIVER & WASATCH FM

Comment (Deposit): This is an area of weak uranium mineralization. There are no uranium mines in the area. It is a curiosity, not a deposit.

Comment (General): A.B. Wilson moved all the comments out of the references fields. Added the only reference for the general area but it does not describe this site specifically.
