also, from ICN's website:
"The Goldfield District was discovered in 1903 and has produced intermittently since that time, with the last recorded production coming from open pit operations conducted during the 1980's. According to Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Bulletin 78 (1972), the Goldfield District has recorded production in excess of 4.1 million ounces of gold from high grade quartz-alunite ledges, with some historic stopes grading in excess of 1 oz/ton Au (>34 g/tonne). Average grade of recorded gold production is in excess of 0.5 oz/ton (>17 g/tonne), and recorded production in the district also includes about 1.5 million ounces of silver. In the first 10 years of mining (1903 to 1912) the district produced 3 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.81 oz/ton (62 g/t)."
...it would seem that the official production numbers from the early days of Goldfield are very likely understated...
