The Gypsum Cave Mine is a gypsum-anhydrite and uranium mine located in Clark County, Nevada, United States, on the Intermontane Plateaus, 12 miles (19 km) east of North Las Vegas.[1][2]
Description
The mines primary products are gypsum and anhydrite, and its tertiary product is uranium. It is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.[1] The excavation of its primary products is considered viable, but not the case for its uranium. The Gypsum Cave Mine is also located a mile (1.6 km) northeast the Gypsum Cave, which is a limestone cave that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
