MILFORD, UTAH-Mod- ern mining techniques and growing international demand for new zinc reserves could soon put the historic Horn Silver Mine back into production. Discovered in 1875, the Horn Silver Mine was once the largest silver producer in southwestern Utah. In its prime, the Horn Mine produced precious and base metals worth over $312 million at today's prices. An estimated 832,302 tons of raw ore was mined during the late 1800s. Gold, silver, lead, and copper were the principal metals extracted. Today, the mine is part of the Horn Silver Property, which comprises 8,000 acres of patented and located claims, mineral leases and real estate. Nearly half of the property, including 244 patented claims and seven former silver, gold, and copper mines, is held under lease by a public company, Arapahoe Mining Corporation of Vancover, British Columbia. Zinc deposits in the area of the Horn Mine are among the largest shafts to test for mineralization in the footwall of the old mine. The rich zinc orebody in the footwall ' has never been mined. somne shaft Although rehabilitation will be necessary, the underground workings at the Horn Mine are dry and reported to be in good condition to the tenth level, Mann said. If exploration is successful, and the mine reopened as a zinc oxide producer, Arapahoe will process raw ore at a $5 million mill to be built near the site. Located approximately 15 miles West of Milford, Utah, the Horn Sliver Property is easily accessible by road and a major railway line only several miles away. Other former mines on the property leased by Arapahoe recently-acquire- d the include Imperial Mine. The Imperial is believed to have significant reserves of copper, gold, silver and zinc ' in a porphyry deposit. drill holes suggest Previous inferred reserves of 8 million tons of 1 percent copper, 0.25 percent zinc, 0.25 ounces of silver, and 0.025 ounces of gold per ton. The overall potential of the Imperial zone could exceed 90,000,000 tons. in Utah, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (Bulletin 1135-B- ). Reports independent engineers for mining engineers for such as mining companies Bethlehem Resources Corporation, have estimated that zinc ore reserves in the immediate vicinity of the old mine, probably range between 250,000 to 750,000 tons, grading an average of 14.5 to 18 percent zinc. "We don't think we will have any trouble providing up an orebody of at least 500,000 tons, grading In the range of 15 percent zinc," Arapahoe president Barry Mann told the California Mining Journal. A joint venture agreement with Bethlehem resources enabled Arapahoe to conduct a $500,000 exploration program on the Horn Silver Property during 1989. Drill results returned high anomalous background readings in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. Arapahoe intends to spend $2 million on hither exploration of the property in 1S90. At the Horn Mine, additional exploratory surface drilling will be augmented by diamond drilling in underground by , , KSL Census Bureau v in Weather Beaver Recruiting in Minlersville for an Final preparations exciting national ceremony, one that occurs only once every ten years, are well underway in Utah.
