We are Douglas and Tonya, proud hard-rock gold and silver mine owners. We would not ever consider ourselves pro's as there is always someone with a process that is new and better. One of the appeals to prospecting and mining is that an individual can never know it all. Especially when you are prospector, mine engineer, bottle washer, cook, assay agent, supplier, book keeper, and ore processor.
We live not too far from Virginia City, Nevada and our claims are a part of the infamous Comstock Lode area. Having one of the last existing tunnel claims we are busy re-opening a drift mine that has 100' of stoping inside. Our ore is an andesite base with quartz veins and stringers. Stories from centuries gone by is that they were getting around 3oz per ton of gold.
Our prospecting has shown decent values and we look forward to the adventure ahead.
