Initial Discovery Clause Samples

Initial Discovery. Within the valley, mineral production was not significant until the discovery of the G▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mine in 1934. That discovery initiated a period of gold production there which continued intermittently until 1967. During this period local ranchers, C▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and C▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, prospected and discovered small siliceous outcrops resembling G▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ore, and leased them to the G▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mine owners, resulting in mining of approximately 100,000 tons in 1949-1950 from an initial pit exposing ore grading 0.14 ounce per ton (opt) gold (4.8 g/t) (K▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1983; M▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2000).
