	'''Crisson Mine''' was a [[gold]] mine in [[Lumpkin County, Georgia]], [[United States\|USA]], located just east of [[Dahlonega, GA\|Dahlonega]]. Like many mines in the area, the property probably started as a [[placer mine]] during the [[Georgia Gold Rush]]. Once the placer deposits had been exhausted, an [[open pit]] gold mine was established in 1847 and commercial operations continued until the early 1980s. A small [[stamp mill]] was also established here. Much of the gold used for the gold leaf dome of the [[Georgia State Capitol]] was mined at this mine, which was among the most productive mines in the [[Georgia Gold Belt]]. The mine is located just north of the site of the [[Consolidated Mine]], which is itself north of the [[Calhoun Mine]].
