A former Zn-Cu-Au-Ag-Pb-U occurrence/group of consolidated mines located in the W½ sec. 5 & in the E½ sec. 6, T22N, R17W, G&SRM, about 2.4 miles SE of Turquoise Mountain, on Bureau of Land Management administered land and/or private land. The property consists of 20 claims of which the Golconda, Blackfoot, Prosperity, and Tub are the most important. Other claims include the Primrose and possibly the Eddy claim. Previous owners and operators include J.D. Wanvig, Jr.; Union Basin Mining; Golconda Chemical; Gold Cliff; Central Mining Company; E.M. Leonard; Cal Wright and J.P. Lane; Owen McNally (Prosperity); J.S. Bagg, Arizona (1953)(Prosperity); G.M. Bowers and T.E. Pollock (Primrose); Bryon Collins and Owen McNally (Blackfoot); E.F. Thompson and E.B. Smith (Golconda); Pontiac Mines, Incorporated; and Bulwark Mines, Incorporated. Operated by Pat Patterson (Peterson ?), Arizona (1973). Owned by Dupont (1975). Operated by Gamin Resources, Incorporated, Vancouver, B.C., Canada (1986-). Closed in 1957. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 100 meters.

According to reports the Tub mine is developed principally by shafts and crosscuts. Here the vein varies from 30 to 80 feet in width and widens downward. It is reported to show at a depth of 40 feet a 4-foot streak of galena, containing values in gold and silver, and at 60 feet below the surface an ore body about 20 feet in width, which averages about $10 in gold and 20 ounces in silver to the ton, and contains zinc, copper, and lead. The mine is known to have produced several hundred tons of lead carbonate ore, most of which averaged about 40 per cent of lead.

The Golconda mine, owned by E. F. Thompson and E. B. Smith, is opened by shaft, tunnel, and adit drift. It is reported to have produced from essentially surface workings several hundred tons of rich ore containing chiefly gold, silver, and lead values, with some copper and zinc. Some of the ore was treated at the old Empire mill in Todd Basin with good results. Recently the 300-foot level is reported to have been driven 200 feet on a 4-foot ore shoot that assays 50 per cent of zinc. [page 100]

PROSPERITY MINE.

The Prosperity mine adjoins the Oro Plata mine, being located on the same vein where it ascends the mountain slope on the southeast. It was formerly owned by Cal. Wright and J. P. Lane, but is now owned by Owen McNally. It is said to be developed by about 700 feet of drift, mostly adit. The ore contains principally silver. Near the surface an ore body 9 feet in width is reported to have been a large producer and to have yielded considerable ore, which averaged $220 to the ton.

PRIMROSE MINE.

The Primrose mine almost adjoins the Prosperity mine on the
southeast. It is owned by G. M. Bowers and T. E. Pollock. It is
developed mainly by an adit drift, the breast of which is said to be
in good ore, containing gold, silver, and copper. The mine produces
much water and will require the installation of machinery for
deep sinking.

BLACKFOOT MINE.

The Blackfoot mine, said to have been a good producer, is southeast of the Primrose mine, near the head of the gulch. It is owned by Byron Collins and Owen McNally. It is said to be developed principally by tunnels and shafts to the depth of several hundred feet. A proposed lower tunnel would ciit the ore bodies at about 100 feet below the present workings. The vein is said to pinch in places, but in general increases in width with depth, and the ore shoot varies from 6 to 24 inches in width. The ore is reported to contain gold, silver, and copper, some of it running 180 ounces of silver and 3 ounces of gold to the ton and about 15 per cent of copper.[page 102]


Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in schist, gneiss and granite. The ore body forms lenses, strikes N23W and dips 50NE at a thickness of 12.19 meters and a length of 1,219.2 meters. The mineralization is associated with a porphyry intrusion. The veins include the Main vein, the Golconda or East vein, and at least 3 others - all similar in direction and form, and the Tub vein, that has a different strike (between N35W and N55W). Ore control was veins associated with rhyolite dikes. Local geologic structures include schistosity in Precambrian rocks striking N30E, with veins and fissures striking NW to NW. Associated rocks include the Neoproterozoic Ithaca Peak granite. Local rocks include Early Proterozoic granitic rocks.

Workings include underground openings with a length of 2,621.28 meters and an overall depth of 487.68 meters. The main shaft is on the Golconda claim at 1,600 feet on incline with levels at 100 foot intervals to 1,200 feet. A 700 tunnel is on the Prosperity claim. Development in the main shaft is mainly by stoping. There are also several hundred feet of tunnels and shafts on the Blackfoot claim and the Tub claim. In the 1984-1986 time frame Gamin completed 2 deep core holes plus 5,000 feet of reverse rotary drilling and identified reserves near old stopes, and acquired adjacent property.
