LAKEVIEW MINE
20.66 Acre Lode Mining Claim in the Mina, NV Mining District
The Historic Lakeview Mine is an Epic mine/location that dates back to 1906. There are numerous records of ownership and production available on it from over the  years - your chance to own a piece of real history!
The Lakeview Mine is National Bureau of Mines Registered AND Minedat Listed. There’s a total of six (6) mines on this claim, 4 are still open and easy to access, but 2 of them have backfilled with gravel. It  wouldn’t take much work to reopen the two closed ones - and hard to tell if they were closed by erosion over the years or on purpose. These two could offer some exciting finds if you reopened them, as they likely haven’t seen humans for decades - possible as much as a century!
Lakeview Mine is a Mine in Mineral County, NV with an elevation of 8,307 feet, or 2,532 meters above sea level. This place is also known as Chong Wong Mine, Jong Wong Mine and Lakeview Mercury Mine and was originally a group of five unpatented claims about a mile north-northeast of drew mine. There is a total of 6 mines on site with a cabin. The info is from land.st : 1972; 1:24000 quadrangle map, and is a 1980 edition. According to records this mine was discovered in 1919. The development consists of 350 feet of drifts and adits in three levels, plus several small pits.At the end of 1942, the lessee was installing a two-pipe retort and expected to star retorting ore from the dumps. Production from this is unknown.
It was closed from 1930 to 1957 and then reopened briefly and worked until a  lack of funds forced the final closure in 1961. It has been claimed several  times on and off over the last 20 years, but it has not been worked commercially  since 1961. With the price of metals today and the extremely efficient and cost  effective extraction methods in use today, you wouldn’t need high values of  concentrate to make a nice little living here.
The country rock is the coarsely crystalline lower limestone member of the luning formation; this is the only mine in the upper place of the cinnabar canyon thrust fault.
Cinnabar occurs as scattered crystals and fragments in open cuts directly above the underground workings, and in the cracks and veinlets associated with calcite, and disseminated in limestone. The ore bodies mined were small and high-grade; they occurred in and near steep normal faults and at fault intersections.
Over the years this mine has been a well-documented producer of Gold, Silver and Tungsten - as well as Baryte, Calcite, Cinnabar and Pyrite. Someone is going to score an amazing location with this property!

There is tons of rich ore still just sitting onsite waiting to be processed, and there are literally hundreds of relics and left over infrastructure, including tons of miners trash and even the ruins of what was once a good-sized cabin and double stall outhouse. As a commercial operation prior to 1930, it was worked by 8 people - so it had to produce fairly well even at the low price of metals back then in order to justify the expense of working for 24 years.
It’s a pretty remote location that sits at 7,800 feet, so you can expect almost no traffic/visitors to this scenic and secluded location. There’s a pretty good dirt road leads right to mines and the cabin site next to them, but it is about 4.5 miles from the paved road, so it can’t been seen until you are almost on top of it. I would say that an experienced driver with a good high-clearance 2-wheel drive care could make the trip 7 or 8 months out of the year (Mina can see some decent snow in  the winter at the higher elevations), but I would highly recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle for year-round access. The altitude means you can expects cooler summers than the surrounding area.
Come to Hike, Camp, Ride and Shoot - or come to pull some shiny rock$ out of the ground;-)
ABOUT THE MINING DISTRICT
Mina, NV
Mina was founded as a railroad town in 1905 and was named for Ferminia Sarras, a large landowner and famed prospector known as the 'Copper Queen. The Nevada & California Railway, a division of Southern Pacific Railroad, had a station in the town. The railroad is long gone, but at one time a local shuttle called the "Slim Princess" allowed native Americans to ride for free on top of the railcars, and passengers and crew would shoot wild game such as jack rabbits, ducks and sage hens from the open windows. The train moved slow enough that hunters had time to retrieve their game and hop back on board.
Gee Jon and Hughie Sing were convicted of the August 27, 1921, Mina, Nevada murder of Tom Quong Kee and, as a result, Gee Jon, a 29-year-old member of the Hop Sing Tong, became the first person in the world executed by lethal gas. The execution was at the Nevada State Prison on February 8, 1924.
Sodaville was an earlier town and station on the Carson and Colorado Railway, about 4 miles (6 km) south of Mina. The Sodaville post office was active from October 9, 1882, until March 31, 1917, when its operations were moved to Mina. Mina was also served by the Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad.

Miners Trash
Mining claims are a tangible asset just like any other Real property (real estate) and show a lifetime proof of all interests in minerals in the area specified by the above claim. Once you own this claim and the associated mineral rights, you will own them for life as long as you keep up with the annual fees. This claim can be bought, sold, leased or used as collateral, just like any other piece of real estate.
A mining claim can be willed or passed down to future generations as part of a trust or your estate, or you can trade it, lease it out for a period or time (or indefinitely), gift it to a family member or friend and you can also transfer or sell just an interest in it in part or in its entirety just like any other real property using a quitclaim deed which is a recordable conveyance. In other words, you could sell a 25% or a 50% share in it if you wanted in order to bring on a partner in the future - or you could sell the entire claim in whole.
This Buy It Now is for full/all interest in this 20.66 acre lode mining claim (unless the acreage indicated in the above mine description is different). This claim covers the entire site, (unless the claim description above describes different measurements), and includes full rights to all minerals, gems and just about whatever else you may find of value on the property (except oil and gas, which are handled separately). The buyer will receive a notarized quitclaim deed to the full claim and all associated documentation showing full ownership of the claim. We pay ALL fees associated with transferring this claim into your name - legal fees, title transfer fees, document fees, notary costs, recording fees and even shipping fees, so all you will pay is the final price of the auction, not a penny more.
In order to hold on to your claim for life, you will need to pay an annual maintenance fee to the Government (BLM, not us) every year.  Currently the maintenance fee is 5 per year per claim that you own, and it is due on September 1st of every year.
NOTE that if you own fewer than 10 claims nationwide, we can assist you in filing the paperwork to waive the maintenance fee every year. That means you will only pay per year for your maintenance fee instead of 5.  We guarantee that all past fees have been paid in full and there are no outstanding debts or amounts owed on the claim prior to the transfer of ownership into your name.
The federal government retains ownership of the land - so this means that you will not have any annual real estate taxes due on your mining claim, and you will not have to maintain liability insurance in case someone gets injured on your claim due to no fault of your own.
How do Transfers of Ownership in Mining Claims work if I decide to sell my claim in the future?
First, we handle all the paperwork and costs associated with transferring this claim into your name should you purchase this claim. But if you decide to sell this claim at some point in the future, interest in a properly recorded mining claim or site may be transferred (i.e sold) in part or its entirety. A quitclaim deed or recordable conveyance document is required and if you do sell your claim someday and the transfer documents should be filed within 60 days after the transfer.
We can and will help you with the paperwork for no cost should you need a hand selling your claim in the future if you pay all of the County, State and Federal fees (usually less than to ).
But again - with regard to transferring this claim initially into your name, we take care of all the paperwork at our expense. You do not have to worry about anything. we handle the BLM transfer documentation and the county recording.
Can you build / camp on your claim?
Without an approved plan of operations, you have the same rights and restrictions as the public. If the area is open to camping to the public, then it is permissible. However, you need to check with the BLM Field Office or the local District Ranger for areas open to camping. Under Federal law in order to occupy the public lands under the mining laws for more than 14 calendar days in any 90 day period, a claimant must be involved in certain activities that (a) are reasonably incident; (b) constitute substantially regular work; (c) are reasonably calculated to lead to the extraction and beneficiation of minerals; (d) involve observable on-the-ground activity that can be verified; and (e) use appropriate equipment that is presently operable, subject to the need for reasonable assembly, maintenance, repair or fabrication of replacement parts. All five of these requirements must be met for occupancy to be permissible.
Although it is possible to build a permanent structure on a mining claim, it is extremely expensive and you will have to jump through way too many hoops to consider it easy to do. It would have to be in support of a commercial, year-round mining operation for starters, and you would need to post a large reclamation bond to insure that if you ever abandoned your claim, the bond would pay for the removal of the structure and the reclamation or the area. So in short, it is technically possible to build on your mining claim, but just be aware that it is very difficult and expensive to do - however, camping is almost always involved unless your claim is in a wilderness area, which is not very common at all.
Proud Member of:
In addition to handling all of the paperwork to transfer this claim into your name, as well as paying all of the fees so you do not have any costs and we also pay all of the costs associated with mailing the paperwork to you as well as to the County and Federal Government for recording and sending you back certified copies.
We will ship you a folder with all paperwork, claim coordinates, maps and information on your claim, including a CD-Rom with all of the pictures of your claim upon your payment in full clearing.  We ship everything to you the same business day (if payment is received by 1:00 PM Pacific Standard Time) - and we will always provide you with the tracking information so you are always informed.
You initial claim packet that we mail has an unrecorded deed so that you can show ownership immediately after payment and be able to visit your claim. A second original deed goes to the County for recording the same day, and a third original deed goes to the BLM for certification as well.  Both of those originals will be returned to you so you will wind up with several original deeds - but the County and BLM deeds can take 3 to 6 weeks to be returned to you, which is why we send you the initial original on day one.
Your payment of this eBay  item in full gives you 100% ownership of this entire claim, with no other fees and/or other costs for the transfer of ownership required. This is for the down payment, this is NOT a partnership arrangement where someone else will own part of the claim with you, and there are NO other fees or costs for the transfer of this claim in your name.
eBay does not allow checkout on the eBay website for any Real Estate transactions - simply because it is not like selling a widget - the transfer of real estate is complicated and requires notary work, licensed professionals and recording. Note that this is eBay’s rules and not ours and it is the same for any mining claim seller on eBay
We also are not able to accept PayPal payments for mining claims, as claims are real estate and PayPal does not allow payments to be made on any real estate items, including single family homes, condos, mining claim or land purchases. We DO accept just about every other kind of payment method you can think of: Personal Checks, Business Checks, Cashier's Checks, Money Orders, Bank Wires, ACH payments, Direct Bank Deposit at any Bank of America Branch, Gold or Silver Bullion (at the day’s SPOT prices), etc. After the auction close, we will send you a secure link to handle the payment safely online if you prefer, and we can also take care of payment by mail or telephone, as we are a traditional Brick and Mortar business - so whichever method you prefer is perfectly fine with us.
We provide financing plans with no interest or fees. Financing terms are minimum of 0 down with the balance will due within 90-days via three equal monthly payments of the remaining balance after the down payment has been paid.
With all financing plans, we do not transfer the final deed into your name until the claim has been paid in full. In the event of a default on a payment plan, we do not refund your down payment - however, we do allow you to put that down payment towards any other purchase as a store credit in full. If you are financing a climate and there is less than 90 days until September 1st (i.e. from June 1st through September 1st), when the annual fee for mining claims is due to the Federal Government, we will add the 5 maintenance fee to your down payment and pay it to the BLM on your behalf thereby increasing your down payment to 5 instead of 0 - however, the 5 portion of the down payment does not go towards your principle balance since it is used to pay the annual fees to the government, therefore the actual down payment credit will still be 0. Approval for financing is automatic as long as you have a valid eBay account in good standing.
