Two shafts and an adit were ultimately driven, but Dunham reported that recorded output of lead concentrates for this period was fairly low. |
The strategy for the second year was to drive a new tunnel, branching to the northeast from the main adit near the mine entrance. |
By May 2004, more than 10,000 tons of high-grade ore had been mined from this adit. |
It has both a vertical shaft and an adit to an incline, which we and several mine officials entered in a small bus. |
For the next ten years it was leased to tributors who worked the old stopes of the conglomerate lode above the adit level. |
Armed with large circular screens, we worked the pocket remains in a small stream that ran past the mine adit. |
