Kiam Prospect — Llano County

Gold Mining Site TX • Llano County County
Description
Kiam Prospect — historical molybdenum mine in the Llano Uplift near the Kingsland granite country. Documented as a pegmatite-related prospect with minor gold showings in addition to molybdenum mineralization.
Historical Notes
The Kiam Prospect is recorded in Llano County mineral inventories as a molybdenum prospect associated with pegmatite and granite-country host rock in the Kingsland sector of the Llano Uplift. Assay and sample reports note minor gold showings alongside molybdenum values — typical of multi-element Precambrian vein and pegmatite systems in central Texas. USGS and commercial claim databases list the site as the Kiam Pegmatite Prospect near Kingsland. Commercial production was not significant; the location is primarily of historical and geological interest. Related lode producers in the county include the Heath Ranch and Sharp Mountain mines. Private property — no public access. This entry marks the documented mine prospect for reference; do not trespass.
