If you’ve been following us via our bimonthly newsletter, Pala Mineralis, you know that Pala International is now the proud owner of the Esmeralda Mine and Mountain Lily Mine in the Mesa Grande District and Aguanga Mountain District (Smith Mountain District), respectively, of San Diego County. As we bring the mines back into production, we’ll be posting updates from time to time here at m.palaminerals.com/blog
