Anyone know any open routes to Dawn Mine?

Just went up EL Prieto canyon the other day, almost to Sunset Ridge, and overheard some people talking about hiking back from the mine that day. I passed Sunset Ridge and ended up at a waterfall, so didn't get a chance to find out. Googled it and read somewhere online that there was an open route up near Sunset...?

I haven't hiked in this area in forever, nor have I looked at the closure map in forever, but I believe there's two other ways to get there (other than via Millard Canyon which is the route i know is still closed).

Thank you! I'll just have to do a little research and see if I can pull it off.

Does anyone know the condition of the trail from Dawn Mine to Tom Sloan Saddle?

If this is still relevant... The trail is easily passable but faint in places. Definitely bring a GPS receiver and a good map (the openstreetmap data for this trail is correct). The trickiest navigation is at the bottom, including finding the turnoff.
