Sediment hosted gold deposits in Nevada were first mined in the 1960s from open pit mines with large tonnage and low grade resources. Since that time, continuing exploration and discovery have identified extraordinary resources, and together these deposits now form the second-largest gold endowment on Earth, surpassed only by the Witwatersrand Gold Fields of South Africa. The data herein are part of a larger U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) project to develop an updated geospatial database of mines, mineral deposits and mineral regions in the United States. The point and polygon layers within this database represent locations of mines, mineral occurrences (which includes deposits and prospects), and mining districts in an approximately 200-square mile area northwest of Carlin, Nevada. Tables contain additional information such as commodity, geology, deposit types, activity status, deposit resources, and mine production. The extent of surface workings, when visible on imagery, is also captured and shows the relative size of mining operations. All data were compiled from publicly available sources published from 1910 - 2017. Where possible, data were compiled from primary source reports rather than from syntheses of past reports. Although the selected area does not include the entire Carlin Trend, the area, which covers nine 7.5-minute quadrangles, does contain a wide range of deposit types described through a variety of public data and information. These data are being compiled by the USGS Mineral Deposit Database project with support from the Bureau of Land Management.
