ACE OF SPADES

NMC1144470

Very secluded, probably 1920’s-1930’s mine shaft. Head frame is still intact, about 35 feet tall with an integrated ore chute. The shaft is 56 feet deep and is collared although there has been some erosion, the wood is still in pretty good shape. The ladder that descends may not be too trustworthy, it’s suggested to rope-up first and tie off to a secure anchor point. At the 56 foot level, the mine levels out and heads north east. Looks like a good 5-6 foot tall tunnel heading north east. Definitely a hidden, secluded mine. It looks like it was wired for electricity at one time, fairly large amount of tailings and relics; some old cans and things around. Probably some fairly extensive workings underground.

The gold and silver readings are good, about 1oz/ton on silver and about 2/3 an ounce on gold from the rock at the surface on the vein that was cut into.

ABOUT THE MINING DISTRICT

SYLVANIA MINING DISTRICT, NV

LOCATION
The Sylvania mining district is about fifty miles southwest of Goldfield, Nevada and twelve miles southeast of Oasis, California. The local mountains were originally named the Green Mountains but were later changed to the Sylvania Mountains for sylvanite, a telluride of silver.
The Sylvania mining district includes all of the northern Sylvania mountains in the area south of Palmetto wash extending along the Nevada-California state line to Cucomungo Canyon. 

HISTORY
Prospects were first noted in 1870 when the district was known as the Green Mountain District which was later changed to Sylvania district. Small quantities of Tungsten were produced from the district in the 1940s-1950s. The Sylvania district has been an important producer of talc and chlorite with credited production of 87% of all talcose material mined in Nevada through 1973.

Silver-lead ores were discovered in 1869. About three years later, a mining district was organized and a camp formed. The earliest building materials were stone and pińon logs. It is said that Christian B. Zabriskie, who came to fame in the U.S. Borax operations at Death Valley, ran a general store here. In 1875 a 30-ton smelter was erected and operated, running for four years before shutting down. The camp remained quiet after 1880. Since then leasers have remained active and the canyon has stone ruins amid maintained homes.

 
GEOLOGIC / TOPOGRAPHIC SETTING
The district typically has warm summers and often cold/snowy winters. The best time to mine in this particular area would be Spring to Autumn.
The ore that has been documented in the area is Silver-Lead, showing Values in Gold that have increased with depth. The geology of the Sylvania district is dominated by the granite rocks of the Sylvania pluton. Most all of the mineral deposits of the Sylvania district, metallic and non-metallic, are associated with skarn zones formed along the margins of the Sylvania stock.

 

ACCESS

Two wheel drive, except the last 1000ft or so which is a little bit narrow and overgrown, so you’d need high clearance and a short wheel base, but you still could make it in two wheel drive.
