DT1 - DT4 Industrial Mining Potential
DT1, DT2, DT3 and DT4 can be found just a few miles outside of Winnemucca, Nevada in the Rose Creek mining district famous for past gold, tungsten and copper production. The nuggets you see in the image above came from the Rose Creek mine (which adjoins this claim and has been significantly worked). Fortunately this ground is fresh, and loaded with potential with fortunes that have yet to be mined.
The Rose Creek Mining District, located in Humboldt County, Nevada, has a historical association with gold, and is also known for its tungsten deposits.
Key points regarding gold in or near Rose Creek:
-
Early Discovery and Commodities: The Rose Creek Mine area was initially located for copper and gold in the 1860s. However, no significant exploratory work was conducted until tungsten (scheelite) was discovered in 1936, which became the focus of later mining operations (1943-44 and 1954-55).
-
Gold Content in Ore: While the main commodity was tungsten, the deposit did contain trace amounts of other minerals. The ore from the Rose Creek Mine has been reported to contain as much as 0.14 ounces of gold per ton , along with tungsten and copper.
-
Placer Gold: Placer gold (gold found in stream gravels) has been reported in the general area, specifically a small, flattened gold nugget was found in the East Range placer fields within the Rose Creek Mining District.
-
Mineral Occurrence: Gold is listed as one of the exploited or exploitable mineral commodities in the Rose Creek Mining District, alongside tungsten, copper, and molybdenum. It is one of the secondary or tertiary commodities associated with the Rose Creek Mine.
Gold was one of the minerals that initially drew interest to the Rose Creek area in the 1860s, and it exists as a minor component in the skarn-type tungsten ore body, with sizeable amounts of placer gold also found in the surrounding district.
