Pioche Hill ore bodies below water level to be mined
Amalgamated Mines and Smelters of Pioche plan to mine ore bodies below water level after earlier efforts stalled by water incursions. The vein system in Cambrian quartzite shows wide pay shoots two to ten feet thick and up to nine hundred feet long, with historic shipments and high silver and lead values. Improvements in pumping and machinery are anticipated to unlock deeper riches once water is controlled and development resumes.
