Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Casino Mine,
Deposit: Operation was supposedly suppling the green springs plant, mas seq 0320330511 with loaded carbon, As of 1990. Mine is in closure As of 1996. Nominal heap leach production in 1995. Mine aslo associated with the winrock mine.
Structure: The Maverick Springs Range is an east-tilted fault block At Winrock, the dominant structure controls are N25W and N20- 40E.
Commodity: Ore Materials: gold Gangue Materials: iron oxides, quartz
Deposit: The Winrock Gold deposits occur in a structurally complex zone between two major NW-trending fault zones that both have both dip-slip and left-lateral strike slip components. The intervening rocks have been uplifted, rotated and inensely fractured by faults trending NE and NW. The structures have created permeability in the rocks allowing migratoin of upward-moving hydrothermal fluids.
Deposit type: Sediment-hosted Au
Development: The original claims in the mine area were staked n 1978 by a grubstaked geologist working for Amselco Minerals. USMX INc. leased the property in 1987 and began a soil geochemical survey that delineated a gold anomaly that was drilled in late 1987. By 1989, USMX drilling had delineated a mineral resource of 2.9 million tons of oxide gold ore grading 0.038 ounces per ton. In 1991 the mine began operations under a 51/49 USMX-Pegasus Joint Venture. Mining commenced in July, 1991 and was completed in 1992. Haul distance was 1.3 miles and strip ratio was 0.93:1.
Ore(s): At Winrock, the dominant structure controls are N25W and N2040E
