The San Albino - Murra Gold Project
San Albino Mine
The San Albino deposit is described as a thick lenticular quartz-pyrite vein several hundred feet long, with a general NW strike, and it dips about 40 degrees NE, parallel to the dip of the enclosing phyllites. Chalcopyrite is locally abundant in the lower mine levels and arsenopyrite is also said to increase downward.
The San Albino underground development consists of a 300L main drift, three x-cuts: 200L, 300L, and 400L, excavated at different locations in the NW side of the mineralized structure, and El Naranjo cross-cut developed in the south side of Cerro San Albino. All of these have been caved and it is the Company's intention to rehabilitate levels 300L and 400L.
Golden Reign is currently reviewing a wealth of historical documentation regarding the historic and forgotten San Albino Gold Mine, provided by the Huntington Library Historical Documents (Charles H. Janin Papers) and the University of Wyoming Heritage Centre (
Thayer Lindsley Papers). Within the collection of documents are original mine plans, letters and geological reports.
