Gold and silver mining boom spreads through Sierra County
The Advocate reports on extensive mining activity across Sierra County with ore from copper and iron sulfides to rich silver and gold veins. It notes major producers like Opportunity Group, Bensoan, Richmond, and Kingston properties, rising copper prices, and the need for modern mills to unlock value in low grade ore while detailing placer prospects, new discoveries on Trujillo Creek and Terra Blanca, and the potential of open land near Hillsboro and Lake Valley for irrigation and farming.
