Comments on the site identification

  • Possible duplicate record 10048031 has the same site name but the commodities, PLSS coordinates and owners, differ by enough to justify keeping both records.

Comments on the location information

  • PROJECT AREA INCLUDES SECS. 3, 4, 5, 8, AND 9.
  • Silver Star Project former MAS record, commods Cu,Mo,Ag. Original NAD27 lat/long coords N-46-45-27 W-122-12-20 (46.7575 -122.2056) fall in northern Lewis county, far from the reported county, Skamania. Mindat.org reports a Silver Star Prospect in Clark county (Cu,Au,Ag,Pb,Zn,Ni). No lat/long given but described as on the western slope of Silver Star Mountain, which lies on the Skamania/Clark county boundary. This matches the description of a potential duplicate MRDS record, Silver Star Prospect, 10048031, 45.73028, -122.28417 in Clark county. The two records PLSS coordinates differ by one section. However, the commodities, owners, and locations are different enough to justify keeping both records. Topo maps place Silver Star Mountain at 45.747761, -122.255516, a difference of 1.01 lat and 0.05 long from this record. The evidence indicates the reporter mistyped the latitude. So the lat was decreased by 1 deg from 46 to 45, and the UTM was cleared. There is a third Silver Star in WA, 10131813 in King county, but appears to be unrelated and legitimate.
