The Sunshine Mine is a documented mineral property located in the Winston mining district of Montana.
Features over 7000 tons of high-grade ore reserve, a flowing creek with annually replenished flower Gold, a secondary mountain spring water source, and a secluded mountainside location.
The Winston mining district boasts a rich history of mining dating back to 1865.
Gold, Silver, and Copper are the primary commodities of interest, with secondary base metals present. Recorded production between 1933-1955 shows over 100,000 ounces of Gold produced from 150,000 tons of ore.
Primary lode workings of the Sunshine mine consist of an open face mine, with a small shaft driven at an incline into the rich deposit of mineralized quartz.
The mine face was developed by a small family operation between the 1940s-the-1980s.
Iron ore rails and heavy pressure pipe remnants are visible near the mine dump.
Gold and Silver values have been located in the oxide zones near the north-trending Granite hanging wall, with copper values located in the malachite-rich carbonate layers.
Estimated lode values range from: 0.67-to-5.7 OPT AU / 2.6-to14 OPT AG/ and 0.96%-2.1% Cu.
A small mine dump in the estimated amount of 120 yards is located adjacent to the mine face, and high-grade ore is scattered throughout the dump.
A pictured specimen located by our surveyors shows a mineral-rich nugget weighing over 18 grams in host rock.
Primary placer workings consist of a 50' upper bench trench cut, later developed into a pumphouse staging area for the lode mine water needs.
The terrace bench area holds course Gold on false bedrock and clay pockets.
Secondary placer deposits are located on the stream level gravels, in an oxidized gravel layer of approximately 6" inches in width. Bedrock crevices will hold large Gold deposits, accessible with a dredge.
A smaller stream flows north into the main waterway from a spring-fed water source located about 125 yards from the mine face, providing a secondary resource of yearlong flowing water.
Three camping and staging areas are available near the mine-face and Creekside areas, suitable for multiple vehicles or campers.
A secluded location that is conveniently located within 45 minutes of the historic mining city and the state capital of Helena.
This exceptional mineral property is available to the beginning enthusiasts up to an established mining company.
