Carlin Gold Mine, United States
From series “Famous Spots of Gold Mines Reminding the Gold-Rush Times”
In the United States, Nevada also has one of the most famous gold mines - Carlin. Each year this valuable deposit allows to produce 1735 000 ounces of gold. The owner of the mine is Newmont Mining company. One of the main features of the deposit is that there are mines on its territory with both a closed and an open way of extracting gold. The development of the Carlin mine began in 1965. Until 1989, about 250 tons of gold had been mined. According to rough estimates, at present the mine contains gold reserves of more than 120 tons. Researchers do not exclude that quite near to the huge deposit there may be other, no less valuable. One of such deposits called Gold Quarry has already been discovered. With the Carlin mine they are often treated as a single whole.
