Trade Alert: Major Past Producing U.S. Gold Mine – “Frozen in Time” for 60 Years!
It’s like something straight from a blockbuster Hollywood movie.
A major producing gold mine – once the 2nd largest gold producer in the United States in 1941 – has been effectively “frozen in time” for more than half a century.
And now this major, high-grade past-producing gold mine – shut down by the U.S. government just as it was achieving its full potential – is ready to be brought back to life…using modern technology and more efficient mining techniques.
Right now one little-known exploration company – Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE; OTC: RYES) – is the sole owner of this high-grade gold mine that was producing up to 129,000 ounces of gold per year before the U.S. government forced the mine to shut down in 1942.
For much of the last 60 years, this mine – the Idaho-Maryland gold mine – has been virtually ignored.
But now Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE; OTC: RYES) has acquired this significant gold property in the Grass Valley-Nevada City District in Nevada County, California.
While other great U.S. gold deposits have been discovered – and mined out – over the last 60 years, the Idaho-Maryland gold mine has been frozen in time…waiting for someone to come along and explore the high-grade gold mineralization trapped below.
Early investors in Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE; OTC: RYES) could see fast-moving, explosive gains as drill results are announced from this titanic historic past producing mine.
Reawakened After 60 Years…A Great Gold Mine That Was Shut Down Just as it Was Reaching its Full Potential
The story of the Idaho-Maryland gold mine truly resembles a Hollywood movie script.
Gold was discovered on this property way back in 1851 – and 935,000 ounces of gold were produced on the site prior to 1901 from a single continuous vein.
The Idaho mine had been considered in the early 20th century to be “mined out” but in the late 1920s a brilliant mine engineer named Errol MacBoyle – the grandson of an original “Miner 49er” – discovered a new vein.
This life-changing discovery for MacBoyle proved to be the catalyst for huge growth in production in the 1930s and into the early 1940s and brought huge wealth to the shareholders and the community.
Errol MacBoyle
From 1936 to 1941 the Idaho-Maryland mine produced from 95,000 to 129,000 ounces of gold per year…and rose to become the 2nd largest gold producer in the United States.
And then – just like that – it was all over.
In 1942, the U.S. government ordered all gold mines in the USA – including Idaho-Maryland – to shut down as the country focused its energies on World War II.
Up until 1942, the historic mining company continued to make new discoveries – but because of the forced closing, virtually none of these discoveries have ever been followed up.
This was a massive operation — one that had produced a total of 2.4 million ounces of gold at a significantly high grade.
Before the mine was shut down, the company was planning on DOUBLING production because of how much gold there was left to mine.
But the U.S. government — and the nation’s entry into World War II — put all those plans on hold. And as it turned out…that “pause” lasted more than six decades.
Now here’s the thing: You only make plans to double production if there’s enough gold in the ground to make it worthwhile.
Not only are we dealing with a deposit that has remain virtually untouched for all these years…we’re also dealing with a much higher gold price that makes the value of the metal in the ground much, much higher.
Errol MacBoyle – who had become the President and General Manager – suffered a stroke in 1943 and was incapacitated until his death in 1949.
Although the mine was restarted in 1944 – at limited capacity – massive inflation after the war pushed production costs sharply higher…and the fixed price of gold at $35/oz made gold production unprofitable.
In total the Idaho Maryland Mine produced 2,414,000oz of gold throughout its history. What had once been the 2nd-largest producing gold mine in the United States was virtually abandoned.
Until now.
Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE; OTC: RYES) now stands poised to move forward on a number of exploration targets with the goal of realizing the true potential of the Idaho-Maryland mine.
By using modern drilling techniques – allowing for cost-effective exploration – Rise Gold Corp. can begin quickly with drill-ready targets to begin producing immediate results.
The Timing is Perfect:
Gold Prices are Poised to Soar Sharply Higher
The timing for Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE; OTC: RYES) could not be any better.
Experts are projecting that the global geopolitical uncertainty will continue to push gold prices higher through the rest of 2017.
That provides a favorable environment for Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE, OTC: RYES) as they work to “bring back” the Idaho-Maryland gold mine.
“Gold often does well during times of turmoil. So is it any surprise that the price of the yellow metal is up 13% this year and approaching $1,300 an ounce?”
“Gold trades near 3-week high after deadly Manchester terror attack”
In addition, increases in gold holdings by exchange traded funds (ETFs) – which soared 34% in 2016 and are projected to increase again in 2017 – will continue pushing the yellow metal higher.
This combination of market volatility and increased demand is the perfect recipe for a surge in gold prices…and has forward-thinking investors searching for the best way to take advantage of this trend.
Rise Gold Corp. (CSE: RISE, OTC: RYES) right now offers the potential of a large, high-grade historic past producing mine – with 100% ownership – in the historically productive Grass Valley, California region.
