The Hulse Mine is a uranium mine located in Lincoln county, Nevada at an elevation of 6,801 feet.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.

Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments
Comment (Workings): UNDERGROUND WORKINGS INCLUDE WINZES, CROSSCUTS AND DRIFTS. THREE DIAMOND DRILL HOLES TOTALLING 660 FT WERE DRILLED IN 1955. SHALLOW TEST PITS WERE DUG BY THE USBM. A WOODEN HEADFRAME REMAINED IN 1981.
Comment (Location): AREA UNSURVEYED . LOCATED ON A SMALL HILL 3500 FT S OF ATLANTA MILL.. LOCATED ON A SMALL HILL 3500 FT S OF ATLANTA MILL. ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Commodity): OTHER ORE MINERALS NOT GIVEN IN THE LITERATURE
Comment (Production): TWO CARLOADS
Comment (Geology): PODS OF PYRITE-URANINITE ORE OCCUR IN TABULAR JASPEROID ZONES ALONG FLATLY DIPPING FAULTS WHICH CONTAIN SILICIFIED GOUGE 1-4 FEET THICK. MINERALIZATION CONTROLLED BY AN INTRUSIVE BRECCIA ZONE OR PIPE WHICH WAS LATER CUT BY MANY MINOR N 35-55 W FAULTS.
Comment (Deposit): PODS OF PYRITE-URANINITE ORE OCCUR IN TABULAR JASPEROID ZONES ALONG GENTLY DIPPING FAULTS WHICH CONTAIN 1-4 FT THICK SILICIFIED GOUGE ZONES. MINERALIZATION APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CONTROLLED BY AN INTRUSIVE BRECCIA ZONE OR PIPE WHICH WAS LATER CUT BY MANY MINOR FAULTS STRIKING N 35-55W. THE JASPEROID BODY CONSISTS OF FRAGMENTS OF DOLOMITE AND VOLCANICS WHICH ARE COMPLETELY SILICIFIED. OPEN SPACES IN THE BRECCIA ARE COMMON. ROCKS FROM THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE MINE ARE COMPLETELY OXIDIZED. ON THE LOWEST MINE LEVEL, MUCH PYRITE IS DISSEMINATED IN DARK GREY TO BLACK HIGHLY SILICIFIED BRECCIA. THE SILICIFIED BRECCIA ZONE HAS BEEN INTRUDED BY MANY N70E-STRIKING 15-20W-DIPPING ALTERED RHYOLITE DIKES. URANIUM MINERALIZATION APPEARS TO BE CONFINED TO THE SILICIFIED BRECCIA BETWEEN THE DIKES. YELLOW SECONDARY URANIUM OXIDES OCCUR NEAR THE SURFACE. PYRITE REPORTEDLY ALTERS TO CARPHOSIDERITE.

Nevada Gold
Nevada has a total of 368 distinct gold districts. Of the of those, just 36 are major producers with production and/or reserves of over 1,000,000 ounces, 49 have production and/or reserves of over 100,000 ounces, with the rest having less than 100,000 ounces. Read more: Gold Districts of Nevada.
