THE HUMMINGBIRD MINE

The Hummingbird Mine is located in the Old Diggings Mining District of Shasta County, California. This mine's mineralization is embodied in greenstone rock. It's a former gold mine which is situated in Section 21, Township 32, North Range 5 West of the Mount Diablo Base and Meridian in California. Free gold was associated with sulphides in this mining property, near present-day Keswick Dam on the eastside of the Sacramento River, just off Keswick Road. The mineral land here contains two shafts both plugged and a 120-ft adit. Early reports mention this adit as a 50-ft., adit but it has been extended over the years. Production notes were not kept for the Hummingbird Gold Mine. The FB Trail passes through a good portion of this mineral land on present-day BLM land. Come explore this property with Ryan Hamman, Riah Stevens and I.
