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 (Production): 1960 TONS OF ORE 7412 1961 TONS OF ORE 39228.61 __________________ 46,640 tons (short tons?) This is very close to the 47,000 tons cited by MS-94. (No idea where these numbers came from. They were in the original MRDS entry with only reference "AEC Prelim Field Inv Airborne Anomali".)
Comment (Geology): UPPER CRETACEOUS MESAVERDE
Comment (Production): MS-94 cites 47,000 short tons which is the equivalent of 42,638 mt. Note that 47,000 is close to the 46,640 (perhaps the same due to rounding) previously reported.
