Carlin Trend, shown with other alignments of sediment-hosted gold deposits in Nevada.Source: USGS. Newmont's Gold Quarry mine in 2009, on the Carlin Trend. The Carlin Unconformity or Carlin Trend is a geologic feature in northeastern Nevada which represents a period of erosion or non-deposition likely associated with a collision between a tectonic crustal block called a terrane and the North ...
Source: USGS Goldstrike (Post–Betze) Mine, Carlin Trend, Nevada, the largest Carlin-type deposit in the world, containing more than 35,000,000 ounces of gold. [1] Carlin-type gold ore from the Twin Creeks mine, Nevada, near the Getchell Mine. This is an auriferous, silicified-decalcified siltstone/mudstone from the Comus Formation (Lower ...
Millerite- Arsenian Pyrite specimen from the underground Meikle mine, Goldstrike complex. Goldstrike is a gold mine in Eureka County in north-eastern Nevada. It is located on the Carlin Trend, a prolific gold mining district. It is owned and operated by Barrick Gold. Since Barrick acquired Goldstrike in 1986, until 2018 it produced 44.4 million ...
The Carlin Trend, part of what is also known as the Carlin Unconformity, is 5 miles (8 km) wide and 40 miles (60 km) long running northwest–southeast, has since produced more gold than any other mining district in the United States. Production from the trend surpassed 50,000,000 troy ounces (1,600 t) of gold in 2002.
This is a list of the largest gold mines by 2022 annual production, measured in troy ounces. Number Name of mine Production Location ... [3] 4: Carlin Trend:
Gold Quarry mine, near Carlin, Nevada, 2009. Newmont began mining at Carlin, Nevada, in 1965. The "Carlin Trend" or "Carlin Unconformity" is the largest gold discovery in North America during the 20th century.
Carlin is located southeast of the Carlin Trend, one of the most productive gold mining areas in the United States. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 27.0 square kilometres (10.4 sq mi), all of it land. [4]
The gold deposit is a sediment-hosted disseminated Carlin–type deposit, with sub-micron sized gold distributed in pyrite and marcasite. [ 1 ] The mineral getchellite , a rare sulfide of arsenic and antimony , AsSbS 3 , was discovered at and named after the Getchell mine.
