The most complete guide to Southern Nevada's mining history.


Monte Cristo is located South of Las Vegas, Nevada. Nearest towns are Jean, Nevada,  Goodsprings, Nevada  and Sandy Valley, Nevada. Primary mining in the area included: copper, lead, silver, gold and zinc.

We have yet to explore the upper workings of this mine because the lower level has been posted as private property.  The signs appear to be well aged and our records show no current claims, but until we can confirm this to be BLM property without a claim, we will respect the presumed property rights and stay beyond the posted limit.
