In the 1980’s a new owner pursued exploration at the Monumental Mine. At that time, there were a series of core samplings done that showed the Monumental property to be a high-quality gold prospect with potential concentrations of economic gold mineralization. Below are documents that will give you information about the mine, including sampling information from the 1980s.
