Introduction The Carrara Mining Patents (CMP) cover ~200 acres with 6 patented mining claims and 10 mineral lode claims near Beatty, Nevada According to top industry experts it has the largest marble, limestone and cement deposits in the Western United States, The mine yields a high economic success Area is well-studied and easily accessible from Las Vegas Scientific and engineering studies show great economic potential in excess of $2B in just 80 studied acres of the claims UNITED STATES
Carrara Formation Details HISTORY & GEOLOGY UNITED STATES
The Carrara Nevada Story CARRARA, NEVADA AND CARRARA, ITALY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. THEY ARE PRODUCERS OF MARBLE. IN 1911, PROSPECTORS FOUND DEPOSITS AND THE AMERICAN CARRARA MARBLE COMPANY WAS FORMED. THE QUARRY WAS LOCATED IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE TOWNSITE ABOUT THREE MILES AWAY ON THE FLAT VALLEY NEXT TO THE LAS VEGAS AND TONOPAH RAILROAD. BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE FROM THE QUARRY TO THE RAILROAD, WORK ON A THREE-MILE SPUR LINE BEGAN IN 1913 TO HANDLE MARBLE BLOCKS WEIGHING UP TO FIFTEEN TONS. A NINE-MILE WATER PIPELINE FROM CARRARA TO GOLD CENTER WAS BUILT. SOME BUILDINGS WERE MOVED TO CARRARA FROM BEATTY AND RHYOLITE TO MAKE THE TOWN LOOK MORE FINISHED THAN IT REALLY WAS. THE HOTEL OPENED IN JUNE AND FEATURED ELECTRIC LIGHTS, RUNNING WATER, AND TELEPHONES. THE RAILROAD TO THE QUARRIES WAS COMPLETED IN 1914. CARRARAS PEAK YEARS WERE 1915 AND 1916. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE MORE THAN FORTY BUILDINGS AT THE TOWNSITE AND A POPULATION OF CLOSE TO 150. THE CARRARA SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1915. BUT THE TOWN WAS SUCCESSFUL AS A MARBLE PRODUCER ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME . ALL ACTIVITIES AT THE QUARRY HALTED IN 1917, TIL THE NEW OWNERS TOOK OVER. UNITED STATES
History & Timeline UNITED STATES In Early 1904 the discovery of marble was made at (Bare Mountain) Between 1911- 1913 the company laid out the town site. In 1912 American Carrara Marble & Cement Company was started Water Supply came from the nearby Gold Center, Electricity came from the nearby highway , about 3 miles away. April 1914, the first slabs of marble were shipped from the quarry, some was used to build (Los Angeles City Hall 1928) 1929 The Pacific Union Railroad was shut down The Carrara town population grew to approximately 100-150 residents 1934 The Mine was sold to Investors of the Carrara Marble & Cement company, Inc., in 1917. (Over 50 Shareholders as a Group) They tried re-opening the mine a few times over the years. But in 1930 the war broke-out and the town was abandon by 1934. Owners put the property & mine on the market however the Deal with a European mining company fell-out because of the 911 - Terrorist Attack in New York City. The Mineral Resource Evaluation and Engineering Report was performed by the industries top engineering experts in 1993, 1997 & 2003 . In 2014 investors have the opportunity to establish a joint- venture to sale for $320 Million US Dollars and Re-Open Mine
Why Did The Mining Stop? They no longer had the railroad or the trains. Handling the marble to take it to the market generated financial stress. They realize there was very little value in continuing the mining business The town Carrara, Nevada was abandoned in1934. The great depression started and World War II began (Pearl Harbor attacked) There has to be a better way. UNITED STATES
Nevadas Carrara Formation Named Carrara Formation due to similarity to famous Italian marble Carrara Formation analysis confirms >96% pure CaCO3 Identified in the early 20th century Peak production years were 1915-1916, ending shortly thereafter Domestic marble production shifted to Vermont due to greater accessibility, transportation, and Northeast market proximity UNITED STATES
