The Dawn Mine is a documented mineral property, located in the Goodsprings Mining District of southern Nevada.
Featuring an inclined shaft and adit portal connecting over eight hundred feet of underground stock workings.
In addition to a strong Gold and Silver potential, Platinum and Palladium deposits are estimated in the deeper workings of the mine.
Originally located in 1917, the Dawn had been worked primarily as a Silver, Zinc, and Lead mine in the early days, with large cars of mineral ore shipped by rail to aid the war efforts.
During the 1940s, secondary deposits of ore, rich in a Silver-dominated Galena/malachite matrix that also carried Gold, Nickel, Copper, and other precious metals were located.
Ore deposits readily recognized in the faulted and folded limestone deposits of this district remained unworked until 1856, when Mormon prospectors began work at Potosí, establishing perhaps the oldest underground mine in Nevada.
Named for cattleman Joseph Good, the open springs area was developed into the mining-ranching community of Goodsprings by A.G. Campbell.
With the completion of the Los Angeles-Salt Lake Railroad in 1905 and the narrow-gauge Yellow Pine Railroad from Jean to Goodsprings in 1911, transportation costs of the local oxidized zinc minerals were reduced.
A peak year of operations was reached in 1916 when the town had 800 residents.
This district, with the greatest variety of minerals in Nevada, produced over $31 million, primarily in Lead and Zinc, with lesser amounts of Gold, Silver, Copper, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Nickel, Cobalt, Platinum, Palladium, and Uranium.
The Goodsprings district is Clark County's largest mineral producer, equating to over 40% of the county's entire output.
•Ore grades are estimated at 3.5% Copper, 0.33-to-2..00 OPT AU(Gold), and 15.00-to-64.0 OPT AG(Silver), with excessive Zinc and base metals available as a secondary commodity. The deposit consists of highly mineralized lenses of ore in a locally dolomitized limestone. Ore lenses are visible as highly mineralized zones, with larger lenses encompassing entire portions of the hanging wall and footwall.
In addition to commonly sought Gold and Silver values, the mine displays great potential for Copper, Zinc, Platinum, Palladium, and Cobalt. The available mineral variety offers significant profit potential given the current and projected demand for rare metals in the technological sectors.
A large mine spill is located beneath the adit portals, with an estimated amount of 30,000 tons of material.
Mine spill consists of low-to-mid grade ore and local host rock, offering a secondary commodity of pre-milled material grades. Additionally, a small amount of tailings estimated to be within 5,000-10,000 tons is located near the old mill site foundation.
Over 500' feet of the dry creek bed is available on the site for metal detecting and dry wash Gold mining options for fine Gold recovery.
Placer values are replenishing secondary deposits, as seasonal Gold erodes from the oxidized quartz veins on the upper hillsides.
This secluded site is located within 45 minutes of Las Vegas, Nevada.

- Primary underground workings consist of an inclined shaft portal driven at a 30-degree angle into the deposit.
- At the base shaft level a connecting haulage adit is located 350' feet to the east, providing airflow as well as secondary access to the workings.
- Underground drifting connects to a partially timbered raise about 200' feet into the hillside. Multiple open-stoped raises and declines are present near the 75'foot level.
- Iron safety gates are present to bar the public and wildlife from the underground entrances.
