This site is classic Skarn geology. Located in Yavapai county, Arizona just 2 miles from the largest procuring placer gold deposits in Maricopa county. Nearly lOO acres lode and 80 acres lode/placer have been under claim since 2002. These claims are located on an area where masses of early Proterozoic metamorphic rock meet middle Mioocene volcanic rock. Underlying the area is a network of intersecting faults. Geologic upheavals and time have generally shaped the topographical landforms in a north to south direction while the mineral deposition along the faults tends to occur in east to west bands Our initial interest, and the attention paid to this site by prospectors in the past, was drawn to the quartz mineralization. Though fire assay results were promising, conversations with geochemists and review of academic and industry research led to the investigation of the large surface exposures the greenrock on this site. This rock varies in degrees of hardness and is replete with fractures that have been interlaced with a variety of minerals. Subsequent sampling revealed this rock to be an occurrence of Greenschist to Epidote amphibolite metamorphic rock. There are multiple varieties of quartz with pyrite and magnetite extruded through linear and radial fractures. These volcanic intrusions of quartz suggest possible enrichment by replacement of the older metamorphic rock. This site is located just 500 yards east of a depression era mine that consisted largely of underground workings. A geologist report obtained from the files of the Arizona Dept. of Mines and Mineral Resources (ADMMR) suggested a continuation of ore and improvement of grade farther to the east of the mine. These files also showed average smelter returns of 1.65 opt Au, .25 opt Ag,' and .6% Cu. Those returns are very close to the results of our Direct Current Plasma (DCP) assays of the epidote X-Ray Spectrographic analysis of the epidote was made for other elements and showed 0.96% Titanium and 1.39% Aluminum. lt is now believed that some of the difference between our early fire assay resuits of the quartz and those of epidote DCP assays may be due to the gold being bound by iron sulfides Our method of leach-loop refining is ideally suited for dealing with sulfide complications. All of the other host and incidental rock samples show particle gold at high magnifications. Mapping the surface exposure of the epidote and profiling the terrain provides a rough estimate of 2.28 million tons of lode material. A drilling program would serve to prove out and add to this estimate. Our company is currently designing a 5 ton per hour closed-loop leach refining plant and electro-winning unit. It will be ready for assembly by the start of 2007. We have a mill site adjacent to an improved road and electric utilities are available just 5 meters from the property line. The mining claims are also adjacent to the same improved road and just 15 minutes from a state highway. Mining will be conducted by surface excavation.
This company is seeking $2 million to ramp up production to 120 tons per day. They will sell 40% of their LLC or will consider a loan. Serious investors will be given copies of the registered assays, maps, and more details.
