The Reynolds (Star) Gold Mine
September 2003 by Sam E. Phifer, P.G.
The Reynolds gold mine is located approximately 6 miles northeast of the town of Troy, North Carolina, the county seat of Montgomery County.

Early work was apparently confined to a number of quartz veins that traverse the property in a northeasterly direction.Additional articles that might interest you...
