The J-Silver Claim

    Twin Mines of Gold and Silver for Sale

    In the mountains a little ways outside of Las Vegas, just before the little town of Goodsprings, lie two sister mines: the silver-loaded Pilgrim and the gold-laden Red Cloud. Out of these mines flowed tons of lead and zinc, but in-between these commodities came hundreds of ounces of gold and silver.

    Production reports from the early 1900s and tests performed with the modern equipment (in pictures below!) both revealed that the entire host rock is filled with small amounts of gold and silver, but becomes richer in seemingly irregular pockets within the mines. In the past, the savviest miners tunneled to areas with the richest rock, but today, the entire host rock could be extracted and leeched from for both gold and silver!

    From the Red Cloud, the past production drug up close to 2,000 tons of ore from the its single 300-foot shaft, leaving behind nearly hundreds of feet of underground workings spread across four adits. From the Red Cloud alone came more than $250,000+ in today's money of gold from its yellowed stopes! But there's still gold there, tested and true, with plenty more unexplored since 1914.

    The silver beacon, the Pilgrim mine, just up the road from the Red Cloud mine is a beauty to behold - and this lead mine is holding an expensive, shiny secret: The gray crystals of carbonate lead that were passed onto the mills coming from the mine contained 20-25% lead and 15-25 ounces of silver! Descending down to 120 feet at its lowest point, this sister mine to the Red Cloud may be smaller, but with a 4/opt silver average, the ground here is bursting with silver!

    A portal to the Pilgrim's 120' shaft...

    Here are the features of the "J-Silver" claim at a glance:
    • In-Betweener - The Red Cloud and Pilgrim mines are so intertwined, they almost run the risk of bumping into each other underground! Their shafts and adits explore three completely different host rock: Red Cloud's break-away alluvium, the Pilgrim's galena-heavy dolomite, and the gold-rich quartz porphyry in-between.
    • Enigmatic Mountains - The Goldspring Mining District has always been one that captured miners' attention. These strange mountains have managed to oxidize unearthed minerals as deep as 200ft in these mines, creating caves full of colorful carbonate and sulfide crystals and gems the average man will never see in his lifetime.
    • Historical Gold Territory - The hills outside of Goodsprings have been well-known for their mineral-rich history, not only with gold and silver, but lead, copper, zinc, cobalt, uranium, and other treasures that come pouring off their peaks. These mines are rich in zinc and lead, but enough gold and silver too!
    • Rich History, Rich Ground - With the Red Cloud giving 1/oz per ton of gold average, and the Pilgrim giving 4/oz per ton of silver off the walls of its already explored sections, what riches remain a mere inch or two deeper?
    • Just Outside of Town - A mere 25 miles from Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), both the J-Silver claims not only close but incredibly accessible -- even 2wd trucks and sedans can easily access the claims, a short walk away from either Microwave or Kingston Road!
