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 (Reserve-Resource): Anaconda Nevada Moly record - ALTERNATE NAME - HALL COPPER. FORMERLY LISTED AS SEQ#0320230159 COMPANY SAYS DEPOSIT HAS ESTIMATED MININIM RESERVES OF 150 MILLION S.T. EXPECTS TO EXTRACT 6000 STPY MOLYBDENUM OVER 20 YEARS. ALSO CALLED HALL MOLYBDENUM. CYPRUS MINERALS COMPANY PLANNED TO OBTAIN APPROVAL TO ACQUIRE CONTROL OF THE TONOPAH MINE, MJ 4/29/88.PURCHASE IS COMPLETE PER J.BLOSSOM 8/29/88.PER 9/88 PAYDIRT TONOPAH COULD PRODUCE 2-3 MM LBS MO IN 4TH QTR 1988 MINE IN CARE & MAINT STATUS AS OF 1991.

Comment (Reserve-Resource): From the Anaconda Nevada Moly record - EIGHTY PERCENT OF RESOURCE IS IN THE QTZ. PORPHYRY INTRUSIVE

Comment (Geology): From the Anaconda Nevada Moly record - CREEDITE IS ALSO PRESENT.

Comment (Geology): From the Anaconda Nevada Moly record - QUARTZ MONZONITE IS REALLY A QUARTZ PORPHYRY. UNSPECIFIED METAMORPHIC IS REALLY METAMORPHOSED SEDIMENTS.

Comment (Deposit): Ore minerals are disseminated in a massively developed irregular stockwork zone of quartz veins and pods enveloping the marginal zone of a quartz monzonite porphyry pluton, and, to some extent, including the adjacent country rocks. One high-grade portion of the deposit forms a tabular orebody 50-75 feet wide and 1500 feet long. The original quartz monzonite porphyry pluton has been highly altered to quartz-sericite-pyrite clay minerals assemblage. The top 100-250 feet of the deposit is an oxidized zone with copper carbonate mineralization. Molybdenite is disseminated throughout the altered quartz monzonite porphyry and occurring in two zones. The first is from the surface to 500 feet deep and the second is 900 to 1200 feet deep. The ore body is elliptical in shape and dips slightly east. Molybdenite occurs as rosettes, not evenly distributed throughout the intrusive, but concentrated in both horizontal and vertical zones. Copper occurs only in the shallower oxidized zones of the deposit. Gold and silver are present only in small amounts.

Comment (Development): The area near Liberty Springs, a mile south of the Hall mine area, was the site of sporadic silver mining from 1876 to around 1900, producing about 100,000 ounces of silver. Clarence Hall developed an underground silver mine on the property that later became the Hall deposit. It was explored by U.S. Vanadium Corp in 1935-38, by the USBM in 1942, and by the Metals Reserve Corp. (Desert Silver Inc.) in 1943. During World War II, the Hall deposit was identified as a molybdenum resource with 354 feet of diamond drilling completed on the property by 1945. Anaconda Company procured the deposit in 1956 and outlined the molybdenum orebody in the 1970s. Anaconda applied for patent on 19 of the key claims of the property in 1969 and was granted patents on 18 of the claims in 1970. Economic feasibility studies were done in 1978, production started in 1979 and lasted through 1985. In 1981, over 1000 persons were employed in development and construction at the site. The property was listed as an active open pit mine and mill, flotation, tank leach operation in 1983, employing a total of 306 persons. Subsequently the property was sold to Cyprus Metals who reopened the mine in 1986 and operated it through 1991. Equatorial Mining North America, Inc. acquired property adjacent to the site of the former Hall Molybdenum Mine in 1997 and in 1999 opened it as an open pit heap-leach copper mine. Equatorial's copper operation closed in 2001 and is undergoing reclamation. Efforts are currently (2004) being made to use some of the facilities at the site for renewable energy production (solar and wind).

Comment (Commodity): Ore Materials: molybdenite, chalcopyrite, ferrimolybdite, powellite, ilsemannite , chalcocite, malachite, azurite

Comment (Commodity): Gangue Materials: pyrite, chalcopyrite, limonite, sericite, quartz

Comment (Economic Factors): The molybdenum orebody as delineated in the 1940s on the 280 foot level contained 1.3 million tons of developed and indicated ore averaging 0.37 % molybdenum sulfide. Anaconda's patent application report in 1970 contains an estimate of 123 million tons of proven ore with an average grade of 0.126 % molybdenum sulfide and 0.1 % copper. Equatorial's drilling and geologic evaluation completed through 1999 resulted in a proven ore reserve of 98 million tons at 0.343% total copper. The total copper resource was estimated at 137.8 million tons averaging 0.314% total copper. The total amount of copper and molybdenum production from the deposit is unknown. Hall is considered by the USGS to be one of the ?Giant Porphyry-Related Metal Camps of the World?

Comment (Identification): This record supersedes MRDS record #M231757 from which all material has been incorporated into the current record, as well as additional new material.

Comment (Location): The deposit is located on the west flank of the San Antonio Mountains, about one mile north of the Liberty Mine.

Comment (Workings): Workings consist of a 310-foot 65 degree inclined shaft, a 180-foot vertical shaft, a 150-foot vertical shaft and an open pit more than a half mile in diameter.

Comment (Deposit): From the Anaconda Nevada Moly record - GENERAL LOC.:ABOUT 27 KM NW OF TONOPAH. MINING METHOD:OPEN PIT,CONVENTIONAL TRUCK AND SHOVEL WITH 14 M BENCHES. THE MILL IS LOCATED ON-SITE. MILLING METHOD:TWO PRODUCT BULK FLOATATION. PROCESS RATE:20,000 T/D (AT FULL CAPACITY). THE COPPER ORE OF THE UPPER ZONE WILL BE STRIPPED AND STOCKPILED PRIOR TO MINING THE MOLYBDENUM ORE. BECAUSE OF COMPLEX METALURGICAL PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN PROCESSING COPPER ORE FROM THE OXIDIZED UPPER ZONE, IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE COPPER ORE WILL BE PROCESSED AT A LATER DATE. ELECTRICITY WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AT THE SITE BY CON- STRUCTING 138 KILOMETERS OF POWER LINES. WATER SUPPLY WILL COME FROM WELLS LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY. MAXIMUM EMPLOYMENT WILL BE 936 EMPLOYEES AND WILL DECREASE TO 400 EMPLOYEES AT START-UP. LABOR IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MINE-SITE AND A TOWNSITE OF 243 HECTARES WILL BE CONSTRUCTED CONTIGUOUS TO TONOPAH, NEVADA. THE LAND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY QUALIFIED CONTRACTORS. ANACONDA OWNS 4228 HECTARES; 2193 HECTARES ARE HELD BY MINING CLAIMS OR PATENTS, 2034 HECTARES ARE HELD BY FEE OWNERSHIP. 1985 UPDATE MINE AD MILL CAME ON-LINE IN 1981. FULL PRODUCTION CAPACITY (20,000 T/D),ACHIEVED DEC. 1981. OPERATIONS SUSPENDED 3RD QUARTER 1982;REOPENED 4TH QUARTER. SUSPENDED OPERATIONS DEC. 1982.REOPENED OCT. 1983. PRODUCED FROM OCT. 1983 - JAN. 1985. OPERATIONS SUSPENDED JAN. 1985 FOR INDEFINITE PERIOD. ANACONDA MINERALS WENT OUT OF EXISTENCE IN JUNE 1985. ARCO CURRENTLY ( AUG.1985 ) LOOKING FOR BUYER FOR NEVADA MOLY PROPERTY.

Comment (Geology): From the Anaconda Nevada Moly record - GENERAL SIZE OF ORE BODY - LARGE. ORE ALSO CONTROLLED BY FAULTING. DIP OF MINERALIZED ZONE RANGES FROM 15-50 DEG. EAST. THE DEPOSIT IS LOCATED WITHIN A LARGE WELL-DEFINED QUARTZ MONZONITE INTRUSIVE STOCK. THE ORE BODY IS PIPE- LIKE; THE WEST SIDE IS CUT BY A NORMAL FAULT AND DOWN DROPPED TO THE WEST. THE DEPOSIT IS DIVIDED INTO THREE ZONES; UPPER, MIDDLE, AND LOWER. THE UPPER ZONES ARE EXPOSED IN THE WEST AND CENTRAL PORTIONS, AND COVERED IN THE EAST BY A SERIES OF VOLCANICS. THE UPPER ZONE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY EXPOSED AND RANGES IN DEPTH FROM ZERO METERS ON THE WEST TO 240 METERS ON THE EAST. IT IS AN OXIDIZED ZONE MADE UP OF COPPER MINERALS IN QUARTZ MONZONITE, AND CONSTITUTES THE COPPER ORE BODY. THE UPPER ZONE MUST BE STRIPPED TO MINE THE MOLYBDENUM ORE BODY. THE AMOUNT OF SUPERGENE ENRICHMENT IS INCONSEQUENTIAL. THE RELATIVE PROPORTIONS OF THE VARIOUS MINERAL COMPONENTS MUST REMAIN CONJECTURAL. THE MIDDLE ZONE LIES IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE UPPER ZONE, IS APPROXIMATELY 150 METERS THICK, AND RAKES TO THE EAST AT 15 DEGREES. IT IS UNOXIDIZED AND IS COMPOSED OF CHALCOCITE AND MOLYBDENITE IN QUARTZ MONZONITE. THE MIDDLE ZONE CONSTITUTES THE MAIN MOLYBDENUM ORE BODY. THE LOWER ZONE IS SEPARATED FRM THE MIDDLE ZONE BY 120 METERS OF BARREN ROCK. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 90 METERS THICK AND IS MADE UP OF MOLYBDENITE IN QUARTZ MONZONITE.
