RE:Esmeralda (aka Aurora) Mine & Mill gearing up ?There is very little information regarding the recent mining history at Aurora / Esmeralda.
The only information that I could find related to an open pit in 2004.
It seems that Aurora's heyday was in the 1860's.
The 3 minute clip below gives a flavour of the old times at Aurora.
I can understand why the staff advertisement was listed in the KDX website and not the local community ......... the county had the record of being second only to Alaska regarding population density.
