Family-owned Nevada iron ore reserve with over 42 million tons of ore “waiting to be mined.” Strategically located near Reno, Carson City, and and Northern Nevada industrial and battery manufacturing operations. Historic geological surveys, extensive exploration records, and a 2025 appraisal estimating multi-billion-dollar potential make this a rare domestic iron mining opportunity. https://www.rosettaironmine.com

Located in Dayton, Nevada, just outside historic Virginia City and within close proximity to Reno, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, and Northern Nevada industrial and battery manufacturing operations. Property is accessible by road and situated in one of Nevada’s historically significant mining regions.

Rosetta Iron Mine is a family-owned iron ore reserve located in Dayton, Nevada in one of the American West’s most historic mining regions. Located near historic Virginia City and the legendary Comstock mining district, one of America’s most significant silver and gold rush regions, the property sits within a long-established area known for its rich mineral resources and mining heritage. The property contains over 42 million tons of iron ore reserves and has been the subject of extensive geological exploration and historical mining reports dating back to the 1940s. A 2025 appraisal estimated the in-ground iron ore value at approximately $4.2 billion USD based on current iron ore pricing and conservative estimates. Historical reports indicate iron concentrations ranging from approximately 49% to 65%. The property was designated by the Bureau of Mines as an important strategic World War II iron reserve and includes extensive historical exploration documentation, geological surveys, drilling records, and ore sample reports. Located near Reno, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, and major Northern Nevada industrial and battery manufacturing operations, the property is positioned within a growing infrastructure and industrial development corridor with strong long-term potential. We are actively seeking buyers, investors, or strategic partners interested in domestic resource development and future mining opportunities in Nevada. https://www.rosettaironmine.com

A 2025 appraisal put the value for the iron ore reserve in Rosetta Iron Mine at upwards of $4.2 Billion US Dollars. (Current iron ore prices are listed at upwards of $105/ton and with the conservative estimate of 40 million tons of 49 - 65% grade iron ore. Rosetta Iron Mine is considered a significant and valuable iron deposit. Additionally, as an iron-rich skarn, as opposed to the typical banded-iron formation, it is potentially a polymetallic deposit. If other base metals, critical minerals, or precious metals were identified, it could significantly increase the value.)​​

Rosetta Iron Mine is located within Nevada’s historic mining region near Virginia City and the legendary Comstock mining district, one of America’s most significant silver and gold rush regions.

The property has been explored and documented through multiple geological surveys and mining reports dating back to the 1940s, including work associated with the U.S. Bureau of Mines and private mining interests. Historical exploration included drilling, geological mapping, and ore sampling programs.

The deposit was designated as an important strategic iron reserve during World War II due to the significance of domestic iron resources.

Extensive historical geological reports, exploration records, drilling information, and ore sample documentation are available for review.
A 2025 appraisal estimated the in-ground iron ore value at approximately $4.2 billion USD using conservative assumptions and current iron ore pricing.
The property is strategically located near Reno, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, and Northern Nevada’s expanding industrial and manufacturing corridor.

Ownership is actively seeking buyers, investors, or strategic development partners interested in domestic resource opportunities and long-term mining potential.
