The Hilltop mine is located in the Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona. This is a past producing gold mine with primarily Silver, Lead, and Zinc values with minor amounts of copper and gold. Assays covering high grade zones exceed 10 percent Lead, 10 percent Zinc and 10 ounces of Silver. It consists of 100 acres of lode claims and a 4 acre mill site behind a locked gate.

Past production exceeds $10 million at today's metal prices. Estimated reserves nearly $1.9 Billion at today's prices!

The mine had been fully developed and mined in the past with over five miles of tunnels, drifts, adits, and two miles of raises and stopes on four levels.

• Rehm level: The lowest level of the hilltop mine is the Rehm adit level at an elevation of 6055 feet.
• Gray level: The next level up from the Rehm level is the Gray level at an elevation of 6465 feet.
• Kasper level: The Kasper level is above the Gray level at an elevation of 6757 feet.
• Blacksmith level: The highest level in the Hilltop mine is the Blacksmith level at an elevation of 7260 feet.

A vertical ore passage connects the Kasper, Gray and Rehm levels. Fresh air cannot flow thru this area due to a cave-in at the Kasper level. Fresh air does continually ventilate the mine by flowing through the Kasper level and down through the gray adit.

Specimens of Wulfenite and Cerrusite have been found in the Hilltop mine. The March-April 1983 issue of the Mineralogical Record provides a good reference for information about the specimens and pictures of the Wulfenite and other minerals found at the Hilltop mine. Several Wulfenite specimens have been recovered in recent years.

If you have been looking for a past producing lode mine with plenty of ore left to mine, you'll want to take a look at the Hilltop mine. Contact the owner today to get more information and to arrange an escorted visit to the Hilltop Mine.
