Green Talc Mining Claim
20 Acre Nevada Claim For Sale
Summary
The Green Talc Mine is a gold mining property located in Mineral County, Nevada. The mine is well off the beaten path and rarely visited or surveyed. Originally located as a source of andalusite, the operators quickly noted the presence of Copper and Gold in some small quantities.
As the mine was developed, miners located large veins of oxidized copper sulfide veins. These veins were largely vertical and were reported as columns, some up to 15’ in width and an undetermined depth. Miners explored to the 200’ level with no ending in site. The copper contained small bits of free gold, when crushed and floated, resulting in gold values of up to one (1) ounce per ton.
The Green Talc is a sister mine to the Dover Mine which is located a short distance to the west. The two properties were once owned by the same company.
Named the Green Talc for the green clay that is present from the surface to at least 15’ depth, the mine produced a total of 450 tons of Andalusite prior to 1920 which was used for high-temperature refining applications.
