    Welcome to Hanging Valley! On the west side of the valley is the Hanging Valley Mine, and on the east is the Tungstar Mine! The mines here closed in 1957 after producing over 15,000 tons of sheelite ore. The sheelite contained an average composition of 1% Tungsten, which was the real goal to acquire.
