The Gold Ace mine is located just south of Beatty, NV in
the Carrara mining district. The mine was originally named the Bull Moose Mine
but was renamed in 1928 when gold production temporarily resumed. A 1918
version of The Mines Handbook indicates that a 10 stamp mill stood at this
site. Many of those ruins are still there to see. As an interesting side note,
with the price of gold at unprecedented levels a company is working to open a
mining operation adjacent to this mine site.

This adit looks like it would be interesting to explore. |

Lots of remnants from the mining operation. |

These adits were partially collapsed and didn't look safe. |

Another interesting adit. I wasn't exploring the inner workings
during this trip. |
