93.7 acres with buried gold
The Governor Mine contains over 3 billion dollars in Gold Reserves that has never been mined. Gold reserves were found underground that equaled 5 ounces of gold per ton of dirt. For an underground mine to be effecient today, at least 1/2 ounce of gold per ton of dirt needs to be present.
The efficiency of recovering gold is about 90% more efficient than what the old timers could have done.
Unlike most abandoned mines in California that were shut down because there was no more gold; the Governor Mine was shut down because President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered all gold miners to work at iron mines in order utilize their mining skills to make weapons in World War II.
Over 3 Billion dollars worth of gold were found by a geologist in the 1980’s
