The Consolidated Mine was a gold mine in Lumpkin County, Georgia, United States, just east of Dahlonega. Like most of the area around Dahlonega, the placer mining on the land on which the mine is located probably started during the Georgia Gold Rush. By 1880, the placer deposits were exhausted and the land was down to hard rock.
Documents explaining what went on at the site remain classified. The entrance to the underground portion of the facility is accessible, but it is entirely flooded, except for a few feet of the top level. The only objects left above ground were the concrete foundations on which the buildings and reactors were placed.
