Gold Hill Mine of the United States Smelting, Refining, and Mining Company, Last Dollar Claims


A former Pb-Cu-Ag-Zn-As-Au-Sb mine located 1 mile south of the town of Gold Hill and about 2Β½ miles SW of the Gold Hill (Utah Western) Mine. Owned by the U.S. Mining Co.

Replacement deposit hosted in the Ochre Mountain Limestone, Gold Hill Stock, and the Manning Canyon Formation. The ore deposit is in a roof pendant.

Tectonic Structure involved is the Sevier Orogenic Belt.

NOTE: Although this mine was called the Gold Hill Mine, within the district it was referred to as the U.S. Mine to distinguish it from the other, more famous, Gold Hill Mine. This mine and the Gold Hill mine should not be combined or confused.
