Mining the Past: Using Arrastras as Evidence of Mexican Mining Activity in Early Nevada
(2015)
Why are Mexican miners absent from Nevada’s historical record? Legends of lost Spanish mines abound, and Hispanic place names dapple the state, but the stories of Hispanic miners themselves are missing from Nevada histories. ...
Statistical studies concerning the distribution of mining districts and mineral deposits in Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1965)

Mining economics of copper-zinc deposits in the Foothill copper belt of the Sierra Nevada in California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1971)
Cut-and-fill mining of a 400,000 ton deposit is proposed for the Foothill Copper Belt. It is 90 percent certain that a rate of return of at least 20 percent can be earned.
Geology of the eastern portion of the Indian Wells Canyon mining district, Kern County, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1981)
Metamorphic and metasomatic alteration of fine grained Mesozoic carbonate sediments by a late Cretaceous granodiorite has produced a series of small calc-silicate skarns, most containing tungsten mineralization, in the ...
Evaluation of gate valve performance
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1994)
North-trending anticlines and synclines are the dominant structures in the area. The major portion of the range is an asymmetrical syncline that plunges gently to the south. Several small scale folds on the east side of ...
Comparison of deterministic, probabilistic, and rock mass classification methods of slope stability analysis at Bald Mountain Mine, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1990)
A detailed analysis was performed on the pit walls at Bald Mountain Mine, Nevada to evaluate the stability of the designed slopes. The slopes stability was assessed through the use of both probabilistic and deterministic ...
Geology of the Buckskin mine, Douglas County, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1987)
The Buckskin Mine, developed on a quartz-chlorite-sulfide-gold vein, is hosted by altered meta-andesite and rhyolite porphyry. The vein may have formed in Late Cretaceous time.
Tungsten mining at the Getchell Mine

A stream sediment geochemical reconnaissance of the Golden Trout Wilderness, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1981)
A hydrogeochemical stream sediment reconnaissance has been carried out in the Golden Trout Wilderness in the southern Sierra Nevada, California.
Study of airflow over rough surfaces
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1994)
Airflow over rough surfaces in underground mining applications was studied. Two sections of an underground airway were laser-profiled for analysis in order to determine the impact of the surface measurement method of the ...
