The range is home to numerous historic mining districts including Virginia City, Nevada City, and Pony, all of which produced significant quantities of gold and silver. The district's geology is complex, with Precambrian metamorphic rocks intruded by Cretaceous granites that host extensive vein and replacement deposits.

Placer deposits throughout the Tobacco Roots have yielded gold for over 150 years, and modern prospectors continue to find color in the creeks and gulches of the range.
