Strongbow Acquires Historic Parker Gold Mine Within the Gold Hill Mining District

Strongbow Exploration Inc. (TSXV:SBW) reports that it has acquired the historic Parker gold mine situated within the Gold Hill mining district of North Carolina, USA.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Gold was first discovered in the Parker mine area in 1800, mining commenced around 1805 and the property was worked intermittently from that point on through to the 1930′s. Most gold production came from hydraulic mining of weathered saprolite with limited production from a series of southwest trending quartz veins. Several very large gold nuggets have been recovered from the mine including an eight pound three ounce nugget discovered in 1885. Production records for the Parker mine are lacking, however several sources refer to official gold production of over 10,000 ounces prior to 1896.
