Pershing County, Nevada - Gold & Silver Past Producer
The Standard Gold Claim is a unique claim that contains the primary ores and tailings taken from the now defunct Standard Gold Mine, a big gold and silver past-producer located in Pershing County, Nevada! Worked as late as 1936 and as recently as 2013, this well-documented, medium-sized production mine produced millions of dollars worth of gold during it's years of operation. Due to unknown reasons, the most recent owners, the Apollo Gold & Silver Corporation, stopped production and left their raw, unworked ore just lying around!
Found in the Imlay Mining District, the Standard Gold Mine is a medium-sized production situated at the foothills of Star Peak, surrounded by the three biggest productions in the area: The Florida Canyon Mine, the Couer Rochester Mines, and the Spring Valley Project. The rich territory keeps prospectors flocking back to the area to try their luck washing in Relief Canyon, trenching near the old Imlay Mine, or prospecting close to these giant productions!
Luckily for the holders of this claim, the work has already been done! Instead of pulling the ore out yourself, this claim is covered in already mined ore, ready to be processed. The gold is one step away from being poured into gold, but needs the proper equipment and know-how to pull it out!
The claimed area also contains unique artifacts from the old 1936s production, which lasted up until 1949. Old concrete foundations, derelict structures, an old rusty, giant trommel, sample bags, and much more to be discovered on the claim site!
In addition, the claim site contains the projected future expansion of the Standard Gold Mine! Want to see what interest they had on the hill opposite of them? Find out using their own samples and go deeper using their three shafts!
The site is easily accessible. Well-maintained dirt roads lead up to the claim site, 3 miles off of I-80. You're never far from civilization being 25 miles from the town of Lovelock to the South and 40 miles North to Winnemucca.
