Hello:
I had a friend mention that there was still a processor in business.On the east side off of Hwy 395 Where one could take their Ore by the ton .Although I do not know the min. And They would process it out for whom ever for a percentage. I have not seen him around for sometime to get the name of the place as I do not recall.He did mention that it was like one of the last smelters still operating in CA. Sure would be beneficial ! Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi! We are Tom and Terri, partners in the TNT mine.This mine is a new mother lode discovery in Sierra County, Ca. and we have not found the perimeter of the vein . We dug out an 80 foot long vein by 2-4 feet wide by 20 feet deep. We have approx. 70 tons of ore set aside and we can dig up at lease 200 + tons (who knows) from the surface, and we have even scratched it. . We are looking for some help from a reputable contractor to develop the mine, possibly from start to smelter. Or any part of the processes. With the California regulations we believe the ore will have to be shipped out of state. When you review the attached report you will see assay results and a spectra graphic report. This is a complex ore containing, gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, iron etc. To recover all the values and ship to a smelter. A gravity circuit will work for 40~60% recovery, but then requires flotation to get the rest. Since this ore has 250~300 lbs of base metals a ton, the value adds up so one would want to probably recover them, as they would pay for the processing.

Thank you for looking at this and please e mail if you think you can help.

Tom
