The Paradise Mine is a documented mineral property in the historic Good-Springs Mining district of southern Nevada.
Labeled by the original owner as a prospect to avoid attention, this hidden gem is estimated to have produced over 150,000 tons of high-grade ore.
Featuring a standing headframe built in the late 1950s, multiple adit portals connecting over 3000' of combined underground workings on multiple levels, and excellent access.
Originally located in 1956 by a prospector and miner named Blake Clark, the mine was worked on a moderate scale until 1990.
Oddly, though not unheard of, is the lack of production records for this mine.
In an apparent attempt to avoid attention, the site was never updated with production records, mineral grades, or assessment work completed. The annual fees were paid, and the site stayed quietly under the radar as a prospective location for over forty years.
Further investigation of the site revealed the startling fact that a massive mine spill in excess of over 750,000 yards should be present, given the extensive underground system. With just over 500 yards of waste rock, the majority of the material has since shipped out via truck to a nearby processing mill.
The Goodsprings district is Clark County's largest mineral producer with over $31 million in recorded production, over 40% of the county's entire output.
Secondary workings consist of a large open stope hillside cut, featuring three connecting adit tunnels on the 50' level.
The mine has fresh airflow from the upper shafts, pushing south through the adit entrances.
•Ore grades are estimated at over 6% Copper, 0.25-to-2.5 OPT AU(Gold), and 10.3-to-64.0 OPT AG(Silver), with Zinc and other base metals available as a secondary commodity.
Bringing estimated values to $2100-to-$6800 per ton of milled ore.
Estimated underground ore reserves are over 125,000 tons in the visible mine face stringers. With visible Gold and native Silver in the contact zones of the limonite and quartz lenses.
In addition to the commonly sought-after Gold and Silver, the Copper and Zinc deposits of this parcel offer significant profits given the current and projected demand in the technological sectors.
Our surveyors noted specimen-grade malachite near the mine portals.
Placer values are secondary deposits, as eroded from the oxidized quartz veins on the upper hillsides.
An old processing building once stood below the mine portals, complete with a compressor tank and equipment for the old drilling setup.
This secluded site is located within 45 minutes of Las Vegas, Nevada.

- Primary underground workings consist of a cross-cut adit that connects to a timbered decline shaft.
Secondary workings consist of a large open stope hillside cut, featuring three connecting adit tunnels on the 50' level.
The mine has fresh airflow from the upper shafts, pushing south through the adit entrances.
- Primary deposit consists of highly mineralized pods and lenses of ore in locally dolomitized limestone.
•Ore grades are estimated at over 6% Copper, 0.25-to-2.5 OPT AU(Gold), and 10.3-to-64.0 OPT AG(Silver), with Zinc and other base metals available as a secondary commodity.

- A dry gulch runs through the base of the parcel, offering prime metal detecting opportunities for Nevada's famous Gold nuggets.
Placer values are secondary deposits, as eroded from the oxidized quartz veins on the upper hillsides.
An old processing building once stood below the mine portals, complete with a compressor tank and equipment for the old drilling setup.
- Access is available for most 2WD and any 4x4 vehicles via an older dirt road.
This secluded site is located within 45 minutes of Las Vegas, Nevada.
- A one-of-a-kind mining parcel, available to the beginning enthusiast up to an established mining company.
