If anyone had doubts about the value of the Diamond Jim mine this should dispel them.
"A staking program is being carried out to enlarge the Diamond Jim Mine project in the Island Mining District north of Elko, Nevada. When completed the size of the property will have been expanded by approximately 60% for a total of 53 claims. A surface program of geological mapping and sampling is in progress as well as preparation and planning to open the underground workings in the next phase of the program. The Island Mountain Mining District, which hosts the Diamond Jim Property, is comprised of two major tectonically-bounded stratigraphic sequences. The lower sequence is an autochthon comprised of three different steeply-dipping units. This is overlain by an allochthon consisting of a "chaotic assemblage of imbricate thrust plates" (Columbus Mines Inc. internal report, 1985). This has in turn then been broken and displaced by northeasterly, northerly, and northwesterly trending high-angle extensional faulting."
