 Mogul Mine
The Mogul Mine is situated on property that is located in the heart of the San Juan County gold fields and proven gold producing ground, 8 miles from Silverton.
The Mogul Mine is a high-grade zinc/lead/silver property that adjoins both the Gold King Mine and the Sunnyside Mine. The property was active from 1901-1909 as a precious metals mine, and has not had the benefit of exploration activity in modern times.

The historic ore grade from the Mogul is approximately 6.5% zinc, 4% lead, 0.75% copper and varied precious metal content. Vein widths of up to 50 feet have been reported and an average approximate width of 8 to10 feet appears on the surface.
