Copper, Gold occurrence · Puerto Rico
discovered 1958
Drawn as a mineral occurrence: a place where a geologist noted the mineral, with no mining recorded. The ore color stands for copper, gold. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
