Adamson-Dickson Mine; New York Canyon Mine; Stoker Kaolin Mine


Largest kaolinite mine in Nevada. Sec 11 T25N R35E.
Structure: Ne-Trending Fault

Alteration: Strong Alteration, Probably By Hot-Springs Activity

Commodity: Ceramic grade clay

Deposit: Drilling and trenching proved a clay body approximately parallel to and SE of a ne-trending fault scarp. The kaolin formed by alteration of sedimentary rocks, mainly shales. Minor amounts of cinnabar are present and sulfur occurs in one area. The kaolin is white or somewhat red-stained due to incomplete leaching of iron oxides from the sedimentary rocks. Abundant quartz is the only other significant inpurity.

Deposit type: Hot-spring Hg
