Notes

  1. Production after map date
  2. Positional information present on the map was deemed inaccurate and not authored by the map creators. The map was positioned relative to the drift opening from the mine notes, which is itself not precise. The mine location is not precise enough to show an outline, the mine is shown as a general area of mining.
