John Gomes Property

The John Gomes Property is a gold mine located in Humboldt county, Nevada at an elevation of 5,955 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.

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.

Land Status

Land ownership: BLM Administrative Area
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 (Development): NO ACTIVITY IN 1984, HOWEVER SOME RECENT DRILLING HAS BEEN DONE NEARBY, PROBABLY BY EXXON FOR PRECIOUS METALS. SHALLOW STOPES WOULD INDICATE PROBABLE SMALL GOLD PRODUCTION

Comment (Deposit): ACCORDING TO ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM MIKE BRADY AND PETER VIKRE, ANOMALOUS NI AND CR VALUES ARE FOUND IN THIS AREA. THESE VALUES ARE REPORTED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MICA WITH THE X-RAY PATTERN OF SERICITE. THE GREEN ENCRUSTATIONS FOUND ON CHALCEDONIC VEINLETS AND SILICA-RICH PARTS OF WAD AND LIMONITE GOSSAN WERE SAMPLED. THE MINERALIZED ZONE OCCURS ALONG A N 15 W, 35 SW ZONE OF STOPING ALONG AN OXIDIZED VEIN (NOW GOSSAN). THE ZONE IS DUE NORTH OF AND ON STRIKE WITH STRUCTURES MINERALIZED AT THE ADELAIDE CROWN MINES.

Comment (Workings): A FEW SHALLOW STOPES AND SEVERAL DEEP BULLDOZER CUTS

Comment (Location): 0.5 MILE NORTH OF ADELAIDE CROWN MINES . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
