Abstract
The Carlin gold deposit, near the crest of the Tuscarora Range in the Lynn mining district, about 35 km north of Carlin, Nev., is the largest hydrothermal disseminated-replacement deposit discovered to date in North America. The mine began production in 1965 and between 1965 and 1976 produced about 2 million troy ounces of gold.
