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 (Ownership): Names listed in the Reference field are probably owner (or discoverer?): T. RIMMER AND ASSOC. for 0560070143 and GORDON RICHARDSON for 0560070144.
Comment (Geology): DEPOSIT-PRECAMBRIAN PEGMATITE or DEPOSTI-PRECAMBRIAN GR.
Comment (General): Two nearly identical MAS records (0560070143 and 0560070144) centered in Secs. 2 and 10. ABW merged into a single record, deleting the latter (newMRDS 10303029), and moved the coordinates to the common corner of those sections.
Comment (Location): Section, Township and Range filled in by ABW assuming the two records plotting in the center of secs. 2 an 10 had decent coordinates (which isn't assured). Coordinates given are for the common corner of those sections.
