Unknown.
Inconsistencies between county and coordinate information may be suspect.
Complete as per original data source.
The database lacks specific mine names. The points were also in question due to the references to mine structures e.g. shafts, tunnels, drill holes, waste dumps, etc. Accuracy was difficult to determine due to the high number of closely grouped mines. Many points appear to be within 50 meters or less.

A concatenation of numbers describing the cadastral location of the mine and it's unique ID number. For example, 4372110HO1 means: Quadrant 4, the southeast quadrant of the state in the Salt Lake Base Meridian (quadrants 5-8 are in the Uinta Base Meridian); Township 37 South (we know it is 37 South from the quadrant number); Range 21 East (we know it is East from the quadrant number); Section 10, Opening type is Horizontal Opening (HO, the other types are VO for vertical opening, IO for inclined opening, HC for caved adit, VC for caved shaft, PT for pit, P for prospect, T, or in some cases TR, for trench, and DH for drill hole); and 001 is that opening's unique number within the section. There can be HO1, VO1, IO1, HC1, etc. all in the same section. The highest number after an opening type indicates how many of that kind of opening the section contains.
