Edison Gold Mining Claim – New Mexico – 2017
Edison Gold Mining Claim – New Mexico – 2017
The Edison Mine is a historic lode and placer mine that was worked as early as the 1890s and through the 1930s by the Edison Mining and Milling Company. It is thought that the historic Anchor Mine and the Edison Mine are actually the same mine and the Anchor mine was the first prospect in the area.
I’m glad you guys got this one, like you said the ore in that side drift is low grade but the historical significance of this mine is strong! Jack Brandenburg and a couple other rugged locals acquired and worked this mine in the 20’s and as the story goes they struck a rich vein about a foot thick, after about two weeks the main drift flooded. 100 years ago it wasn’t feasible to continue working with the water issues and the mine was soon abandoned and left unclaimed for decades. With today’s technology, once that vein is relocated it should be relatively easy to remove any water and retrieve some value. We’ve panned up and down Bitter Creek from here and have found some spots where we’re pulling small pieces of gold out of every pan! Haven’t found any large nuggets yet but the consistency shows some legitimate potential here. There’s some nice quartz crystals that can be found too.
Where can I go to get the production records and assays for opt value on this mine? Lol
I’m in so Cal. Looking for a mine to invest in
