Map showing reconnaissance geochemistry in the gold-pyrophyllite belt of northwestern Moore County, North Carolina Map showing reconnaissance geochemistry in the gold-pyrophyllite belt of northwestern Moore County, North Carolina

Traces of gold and molybdenum are widely disseminated in an area approximately 35 km long and 10 km wide in northwestern Moore County, N.C. At least 2540 oz. of gold were recovered from 16 or more mines and prospects between 1880 and 1910.
