I've been told only 10% of the Mother Lode has been recovered. They don't know how deep it runs. In the United States, Mother Lode is most famously the name given to the long alignment of hard rock gold deposits stretching northwest to southeast in the Sierra Nevada of California. The California Mother Lode is a zone from one to four miles (6 km) wide and 120 miles (190 km) long, which stretches from Georgetown in El Dorado County on the north, through Amador, Calaveras, and Tuolumne counties, south to Mormon Bar in Mariposa County. It was discovered in the early 1850s, during the California gold rush. The zone contains hundreds of mines and prospects, including some of the best-known historic mines of the gold-rush era. Individual gold deposits within the Mother Lode are gold-bearing quartz veins up to 50 feet (15 m) thick and a few thousand feet long. The California Mother Lode was one of the most productive gold-producing districts in the United States, but is now given over to tourism.[2] en.wikipedia.org Drawn to the Mother Lode A new rush of miners try their luck in gold-rich creeks. philly.com
