The Techatticup mine is a location in the Mojave Wasteland, located southeast of Camp Nelson and east of Clark Field. Several Legion troops occupy the interior with two captured NCR troopers.

Background

Located at an elevation of 2,477 feet (755 m), midway in Eldorado Canyon, the historic Techatticup mine was once the most productive gold mine in the Colorado Mining District, exploting an exceptionally productive deposit of gold through drift mining. After the veins ran dry, the mine was converted into a tourist attraction, complete with its own parking lot. The ravages of the Resource Wars and the Great War turned it into a waste dump for barrels full of radioactive debris. Two centuries later, the long-abandoned mine was turned into a temporary prison camp for a number of NCR troopers captured by the Legion under Decanus Alexus.[1]

Layout

The mine is located at the turnaround point on the road past Nelson and appears to have been used as a dumping ground or storage area for nuclear waste. After a short winding path from the entrance, there is a small chamber containing Legion troops, and paths leading left and right.

The left path leads down to a large, irradiated chamber with a group of eight Legion members including their leader Alexus, who holds the key to the storage areas down the righthand path containing NCR prisoners. Farther down the path, there are two Average locked gates with various weapons and armor within.

Taking the righthand side path leads to a small chamber with four Legion troops and two locked storage areas, each containing a tied-up NCR soldier and some loot.

Notable loot
