Comments on the location information

  • Antelope Project includes 4 main claim blocks: AB (Antelope), RF (Twin Buttes), SM (Sheep Mountain), WY (formerly JAB) claims as well as other mineral claims. Emphasis is on the WY 1-40 (JAB) claims in the Tech Report. Wy 41-81 (Cyclone) claims are also part of the Project. Lat/longs are given for each of the 5 blocks. Perhaps each should be a separate MRDS record?
  • Note that this "deposit" straddles the Fremont/Sweetwater county line. May be flagged by MRDS as potential location problem because first point it plots is in Sweetwater Couunty, but Fremmont County is listed first.
