Gold information , Tuolumne Sunshine Mine.
Native Gold in quartz veins were first mined by open trenches
dug on the north face of this mountain, these first guys were early Spanish miners. The American 49ers started placer
mining in the 1851 , finding gold nuggets, but the hard rock mining claims on this mountain were first filed in
1883. Many mine tunnels were blasted open on the mountain where the four parallel quartz veins intersect layers
of slate. The natural gold pockets occur in random and unpredicable deposits along the contact zone. Lady
Luck is our best tool.
Tuolumne Sunshine Mine, started June 1, 2008, a fine adventure exploring a ghost
town of twelve abandoned mines on a steep rock mountain in the California gold country, and the adventure
continues........ At this time my mine is not producing any gold. To supply this website, all
the gold presently for sale here, was purchased in prior years from other mines on this mountain. These adjacent
mines, working the same mineral formation
I hope Lady Luck smiles on us
in the future.
Have
a nice DAY.
*Before this gold mining adventure found me, I was working with other fine stones from California and having
