Magnesite mining. Red Mountain is linked to Livermore, California by Mines Rd., and historically was the site of several magnesite mines, the two major mines being the Red Mountain Mine and the Western Mine. One book claims that the deposits on the mountain are the purest known as of 2007, although a USGS report notes that the quality varied between the veins.
