Identification information

Deposit ID 10018832
MRDS ID DC06966
Record type Site
Current site name Poison Basin Claim Group
Alternate or previous names Poison Basin Claims
Included sites Poison Basin District, Poison Basin Uranium District

Comments on the site identification

  • Owner-Operator of Poison Bsin #10 (MAS 0560070199 = 10303361) was listed as Shawano Uranium, Alex L Guterma. This suggests that the Shawano Group in Poison Basin is the same as this group. Perhaps more record consolidation is needed?
