Sunlite Mine

Historical Record

The Sunlite Mine is a new 100 acre placer mining claim in Churchill County, with an old-mill site and dozens of acres of alluvial gold-bearing gravels to process. Last worked in 1980's, this past producing gold mine has is easy to access and can be put back into an industrial scale operation. In the 1980's when this mine was last worked gold was selling for $330/oz (or $1100 adjusted for inflation), while at the time of this writing gold has shot up to over $3300/oz! If you've been looking for a past producing placer mining claim with industrial and economic potential, this may be the one! This area has 8 official MRDS write-ups for placer gold occurrences and past production. Water can be found nearby either 2.5 to the north in the lower Humboldt drain slough, or approx. 6 miles by road to the south in the Humboldt slough. There are 6 pre-dig water settling / recirculation ponds already pre-dug on the property. New pond liner will need to be installed, however this these prior workings will save you thousands of dollars in labor and logistics if you seek to put this mine back in production. Just 18 miles from amenities in the city of Lovelock. Quick access to multiple food and dining choices, lodging, tools and fuel. Access this claim quickly as it's only 30 minute drive down Hwy 80 going northeast out of Fernley, NV. The foundations of the old mill site are within the claim boundaries. Plenty of old piping, relics, and a well-maintained dirt road also runs through the property outline. The Sunlite Mine is just a few miles south from the historic Onida Mill. This location was picked due to its plentiful access to water which ran from the Humboldt Lake through a natural cut in the Humboldt Dyke. Here are some of the features the Sunlite Mine has at a glance: 100 Sprawling Acres of Gold Bearing Gravels - Check out the aerial photography to get an idea of the immense size of the alluvial fan depositing gold in the valley. Water Close by - Haul in water from the slough just up the road 2.5 miles. Highly mineralized area - The area is known to produce more than just buckets of gold and silver: mercury, lead, uranium, arsenic, antimony, cinnabar, and more have been found! Natural gold traps - Plenty of bends and elevation changes enhance the free-flow of the sprawling alluvial fan conjoining the old mill site; excellent places for gold to freely deposit. Due to plentiful access to water and easy terrain, these claims have the possibility of a industrial sized, highly economically profitable gold mining operation. Much of the infrastructure including roads and recirculating ponds already exist, as well as a sturdy concrete foundation for milling. The mining season will run most of the year in this area, getting less than 6 inches of snow per year. The area had enough space multiple RVs, perfect for a small convoy of panners or even your crew of professional operators and miners.
