The Eagleville Mine is a silver and gold mine located in Mineral county, Nevada.
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.
Mine Info
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.

Comments
Comment (Deposit): SERIES OF 3 OR MORE VEINS. MOST OF THE ORE AND VEIN FILLING IS LOOSE AND FRIABLE. NO. 1 VEIN (SW) IS 6-10 FT WIDE AND OUTCROPS ON SURFACE ABOUT 1/4 MILE. THIS VEIN HAD ORE OF GOOD GRADE, NO. 2 VEIN CONTAINS MUCH BARITE AND LOW VALUES IN AU & AG.
Comment (Geology): ANDESITE AND RHYOLITE PORPHYRIES ARE TRAVERSED BY A SERIES OF FISSURES HAVING STRIKES AVERAGING ABOUT S35E, BUT VARYING FROM S15E TO S65E. THE FISSURES CONTAIN VEINS OF QUARTZ AND ALTERED COUNTRY ROCK. POST-MINERALIZATION FAULT MOVEMENTS HAVE CRUSHED AND PULVERIZED THE VEIN MATERIAL. ORIGINAL MINERALIZATION BY GOLD AND SILVER WAS AT TIME OF FORMATION OF THE VEINS. LEACHING AND ALTERATION BY HOT SPRING ACTION HAVE REDISTRIBUTED THE SILVER VALUES TO A CONSIDERABLE EXTENT AND THE GOLD VALUES TO SOME EXTENT.
Comment (Production): ESTIMATED $50,000
Comment (Development): THE MINE HAS BEEN WORKED AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS OF TIME FOR MANY YEARS
Comment (Workings): WORKINGS EXTEND THROUGH VERTICAL DEPTH OF 400 FT. ABOVE THE NO. 2 OR NW VEIN, AND 200 FT. BELOW MAIN TUNNEL LEVEL.
