Less than a month after acquiring the historic Blackbird Mine, IronMiners announces the addition of Pipes Mine to its portfolio. Dating back to the first half of the 20th century, Pipes Mine operated in the shadow of the larger and more well known Alabama Mine. Although gold was produced, the mine was never fully developed. Included within the claim is the entirety of the mine as well as the Siskiyou Mine to the north. IronMiners has recently rehabilitated the adit and plans are now underway to begin operations in 2012 as well as preserve the mine.View Pipes Mine »

In late November 2011, IronMiners completed the acquisition of the Blackbird Mine located in northern Nevada. Discovered in 1869, the mine was said to have earned between one to two million dollars during its early period. The mine was also once owned by George S. Nixon who in later years became a US senator. Rehabilitation work has recently commenced, and IronMiners plans both to preserve and continue to work the historic gold mine.View the Blackbird Mine »

The following year Reading sold it to Kirkbride who later bequeathed the mine to his sons, John, Joseph Jr, and Mahlon. In 1779, Jonathan Dickerson and Minard Lefevre started to purchase interest in the property. By 1805, Dickerson had attained two-thirds ownership.Read more »
