Monon Mineral Property
Colorado Gold Mine For Sale
Summary
The Monon Mineral Property is located in Mineral County Colorado in the Creede Mining District. The property consists of four (4) contiguous lode mining claims, staked, and mapped to provide maximum coverage of the relevant locatable deposits in the area.
The property has had various names over the years, Magnusson, Silver Horde, and most recently the Big Six. Homestake Mining was the last major holder of the property recorded in 1998, this shortly before they were purchased by Barrick Mining in 2001.
The Monon Group Mineral property encompasses several properties that have operated independently over many years. The Big 6 or Silver Horde property is the southern-most drift, oft times also referred to as the Silver Horde Tunnel. The Silver Horde connects underground with the northern most adit, known as the Moon Tunnel. The Magnusson Tunnel is also on the north end of the property and accesses the upper levels of the mines and intersects with the open stopes underground.
At current, only the Magnusson Tunnel is open and accessible for sampling. By 1998 the Portal at the Big Six/Silver Horde had been bulldozed but not before images had been taken of a large vein in one of the stopes and a mucker that had been abandoned in the workings. There was no other information provided. Plates 1 and 2 are images of the underground workings.
The Big Six/Silver Horde should be an easy open with a notice of operation and a backhoe.
There is a block of patented property that runs between the Silver Horde and the Magnusson, this is noted because of its location, but also because the apex of the veins and lodes on the property have not been defined. The stopes on the property are assumed worked out but as noted in reports, the veins and lodes are divergent and have not been chased or worked out. Lodes identified in the Magnusson, Moon and Silver Horde Tunnel have been sampled but not worked and were the main elements of interest to Homestake Mining.
