History

In 1942, Giannelli describes the Mountain View mine and George Nash's nearby tungsten claim.[3]

The Mountain View mine is described in 1985 as being in the Deephole Mining District.[4]

In 2015, Allied Nevada, the company that operated Hycroft Mine at the time reported that Vista acquired the property from Newmont Capital.[5]

In February 2022, the BLM announced that they were accepting pre-scoping comments for the Mountain View Exploration Project.[6]
