NBMG Sample Site 2907

The NBMG Sample Site 2907 is a silver and gold mine located in Pershing county, Nevada at an elevation of 4,560 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.

Comments

Comment (Workings): SEVERAL SHALLOW BUT CAVED ADITS; LOWER ADIT IS ABOUT 50 FT LONG

Comment (Deposit): PEGMATITE VEINS IN A STRONGLY WEATHERED GRANODIORITE. LOWER ADIT IS ABOUT 50 FT LONG AND FOLLOWS THE STRIKE OF A N 60 W, 70 SW FAULT. THE PEGMATITE VEIN BEARS N 25-35 E, AND HAS DARK STREAKS OF BLACK TOURMALINE, AS WELL AS MINOR SULFIDES. THE UPPER ADIT IS 75 FEET ABOVE AND ON SAME STRIKE AS THE LOWER VEIN SYSTEM, BUT AT THIS POINT, THE VEIN IS SURROUNDED BY PINK POTASSIC FELDSPARS SEVERAL FEET THICK...THE MACRO CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURES ARE MORE APPARENT IN THE UPPER WORKINGS. THE EXPLORATION TARGET APPEARS TO BE THE SULFIDES, (?).
