@counteroid1 Gold and silver originally when they first started the mine over a hundred years ago, but when the mine was re-opened in the 1960's they were mining gold, silver, lead, and a few other minerals that were then economical to extract from the ore. The ore however wasn't rich enough to make the mine profitable and was shut down again.
pretty cool what did they mine? gold iron coal?
