A former Au-Ag-Cu-Mn-Mo-Fe-As-Hg-Sb occurrence/open pit mine located 17.3 km (10.8 miles) ESE of Golconda Summit (Golconda District) (coordinates of record), along the West side of Interstate highway 80. The USGS map illustrates the flooded open pit with a sign saying this is a Newmont mining reclamation site.
The primary mineralization is gold, arsenopyrite and pyrite. The oxidation zone portion of the ore body was heap leached successfully for gold with byproduct silver, but the primary ore was uneconomic.
Alteration: Silicification, Argillization, Pyritization.
Commodity: In sulfide ore, Au is associated mainly with arsenopyrite and to a lesser extent with one or two generations of pyrite.
Deposit: Overburden ranges 1 ft. To 200 ft.
Deposit type: Carbonate-hosted Au-Ag
Development: Hindrance to the siting of the drill holes. Prior to mine development, these power lines were moved at a cost of $4 million. The production decision was made may, 1990, construction began in december, 1990, full scale mining began april, 1991, and the first dore was poured august, 1991. Over 400 drill holes had been completed at lone tree As of april, 1992. ; econ.com: project capital cost was $52.9 million, excluding initial exploration. Cash costs in 1991 were $103.45/oz. Au. A mill equipped with a low temperature, low pressure autoclave to treat sulfide ore is scheduled to be built in 1994 at an estimated cost of $67 million. Drilling at lone tree was conducted near the completion of a much larger drilling program in the south valmy area. Holes at lone tree were sited in part on drilling results at the stonehouse deposit immediately to the south and in part on geologic factors considered since 1987. The discovery hole, th-79, was drilled in july, 1989. It intersected 35 ft. Grading 0.12 opt Au starting at a depth of 140 ft. A follow-up reverse circulation drilling program of 10 holes was begun in august, 1989. These were angle holes drilled mainly As east-west fences in the vicinity of th-79. Of these 10 holes, only 1 failed to intersect significant Au mineralization. By december, 1989, the known strike length of the Au-bearing structure extended nearly 0.5 mile on santa Fe pacific property. An accelerated drilling program beginning in january, 1990, used As many As 17 drill rigs simultaneously. The goal was to delineate an oxide resource by june, 1990. The presence of power lines on the property was a
