The Majuba Hill Mine is a historic underground mining site located in Pershing County, Nevada, initially discovered in 1907 and active primarily during World War I and World War II. The complex geological deposit is centered on a subvolcanic rhyolite intrusive stock and a hydrothermal breccia system. Over the decades, the property has been explored and historically mined for multiple commodities, notably copper and tin, alongside associated values of silver, gold, and other trace elements. Modern exploration efforts continue to evaluate the area for potential large-scale open pit resource development.
