Iron King Mine
The Iron King Mine is a 40-acre lode gold claim for sale wedged between Lovelock and Fernley, Nevada that features gold and copper. This mine site is a unique mix, with gold, copper, and gemstones found in the surrounding alluvial deposits and deep in the depths of the Trinity Mountains.
The Iron King gets its free gold from the North and the East, where rains and snow deposit gold from miles away onto its property. Even better, the Iron King has a host of its own gold-bearing materials, often marked as bright red, oxidized veins that pop out onto the surface and streak into the mountains. These oxides along with the visible quartz & limonite veins highlight exactly where the gold is found in the Iron King.
The Iron King lies in rich territory. With the Jessup Mine to its East, the Fly by Nite Hot Mine together with Mountain Man Mining's own Fireball Ridge Mine to the West, gold and silver seems to be found abundantly around the Iron King.
The area has also been known to hold a concentration of precious gemstones, particularly turquoise, so gold won't be the only thing your pick strikes! The bright blues of turquoise and iron reds won't be the only colors you witness either; bright copper oxides, showing themselves as teal horseshoes in our photographs, are easily spotted and mined.
The Iron King in Brief:
- Rich Ground, Rich History - Old relics point to the fact the Iron King lies on pay-dirt, and has been surrounded by other mines racing to get the same rich rock!
- Holy Trifecta in the Trinity Mountains - The pay-dirt here gives gold, silver, and copper in the Trinity Mountains, and tops it off with beautiful blue turquoise gems!
- Placer and Lode Mine - The Iron King finds gold TWICE - from surface alluvial deposits and from deposits deep in the Trinity Mountains!
- Close to Town - 30 miles from both Lovelock and Fernley, Nevada, you're never far from hot food, warm beds, and friendly folk while searching for gold on your own private claim!
Several shafts falling hundreds of feet, an adit going in a few hundred feet, and the trenching of visible veins dot the surface Iron King Mine. Old, historic wooden and metal relics left behind are strewn all across the property. Plenty of tailings piles exist on the property for easy assessment of the gangue material and some peeks at the target ore.
Previously developed property that is ready to be shored up and developed further. Plenty of sample points on already well-exposed rock at various points throughout the property. Expansion room surrounding the two claims in all directions.
