Anglia Prospect

The Anglia Prospect is a lead, silver, gold, and antimony mine located in Washoe county, Nevada at an elevation of 5,400 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 (Deposit): ONE WEST-STRIKING VEIN HAS MINOR GALENA, COPPER AND TETRHEDRITE. OTHER VEINS CONSIST OF BULL QUARTZ IN OLDER SEDIMENTS WITH MINOR COPPER AND POSSIBLE TUNGSTEN MINERALIZATION. ONE VEIN REPORTEDLY CONTAINS LENSES AND SMALL PODS OF STIBNITE AND ANTIMONY OXIDES.; MODEL NAME COULD ALSO BE: SIMPLE SB.

Comment (Workings): ADITS, SHAFTS, PROSPECTS AND TRENCHING; CUTS, OPEN PITS.

Comment (Deposit): THIS RECORD HAS BEEN MERGED WITH M231146 AND D011336, WHICH HAVE BEEN DELETED. ORDER RECORDS IDENTIFIED SITE AS ANGELIA PROSPECT, BUT STAGER AND TINGLEY USE CURRENT NAME (NBMG BULL. 89).

Comment (Location): UTM IS TO SAMPLE SITE 2886, A CENTRALLY LOCATED SHAFT. . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)

Comment (Production): WHETHER THIS PRODUCTION CAME FROM QUARTZ VEIN OR SILICIFIED PHYLLITE WALLROCK IS UNKNOWN

Comment (Development): ALL WORKINGS ARE ALONG QUARTZ VEINS OR ALONG CONTACT ZONE. ADIT ON EAST SIDE OF CANYON IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF BLACK WARRIOR PEAK IS ON A W-STRIKING VEIN IN GRANODIORITE. SAMPLES FROM THE DUMP AND THE VEIN HAD MINOR SHOWS OF GALENA, COPPER AND POSSIBLY TETRAHEDRITE. THIS ADIT MAY BE CONNECTED WITH THE SHAFT FURTHER UP THE HILL WHICH WAS SAMPLED AS SITE 2886. THIS UPPER SHAFT WAS ALSO ON A QUARTZ VEIN IN GRANPODIORITE STRIKING N20E, DIPPING 55 SW. WHILE THE UPPER WORKINGS WERE VERY OLD AND SHOWED NO RECENT ACTIVITY, THEY DID CONTAIN THE BEST-LOOKING MINERALIZATION IN THIS PART OF THE DISTRICT. SAMPLE SITE 2885 WAS JUST SOUTH OF THE UPPER WORKINGS WITH MINOR COPPER AND POSSIBLE TUNGSTEN MINERALIZATION. ACTIVITY AT SAMPLE SITE 2884 IN THE EARLY OR MID 1980'S. ORIGINAL WORKINGS FOR GOLD AND SILVER.

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.
