Abandoned mine

Abandoned mine

07 Jul 2014 1 2 428
Near the mouth of Jett Canyon, on the south side, in the Toiyabe Range, Nevada. The mine is located near the contact of an intrusive body with early Paleozoic rocks, and was probably for silver with maybe some base metals, probably lead and zinc.

Adit

Adit

07 Jul 2014 1 2 396
Near the old mine in Jett Canyon, southern Toiyabe Range, Nevada. It appears to be exploratory only as it's shallow and there isn't much spoil. It's evidently following the fault to the left; there are prominent parallel slickensides visible in the adit itself (see detailed view adjacent).

Close-up of the adit in Jett Canyon, Toiyabe Range, Nevada. Note the prominent slickensides at the right. They're roughly parallel to a fault that's to the left of the adit. Presumably the fauting localized the mineralization that's the target of the exploration.
