Notes

  1. Production is unknown and probably quite low (believed to be a test pit, less than 50 tons and perhaps as low as 1 or 2 tons).
  2. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized. Because the location within the section is unknown, the point was plotted near the center of the section.
