Silver Park Overview:
Silver and gold mineralization were discovered at Silver Park in 1869. Production began in 1871 and two mills had been built by 1872. Very minor undocumented production, primarily silver, was mined from several shafts and drifts around the property, but high-grade silver values proved to be shallow and did not generally extend to depths much deeper than 10m. In 1975, extensive shallow rotary drilling was conducted in the Silver Park area, which defined a small zone of near-surface mineralization. Silver Park mineralization is hosted in northeast and north trending zones within the Ely Springs Dolomite with shallow supergene enrichment along fractures, bedding planes, and joints.
