The Rio Del Monte Mine offers both Decorative and Structural Rock Products and significant Gold and Silver values on 400 Patented acres. This would make a very lucrative business because it is close to a major market,and the retail value of the rock is enormous not counting the Gold and Silver values. Unlike most mines, which must deal with moving and storing waste rock, the Rio Del Monte Mine has a strong market for everything it produces.

The 400 acres of mining claims on the Rio Del Monte Mine were patented in 1907 for the purpose of gold production. Incorporating numerous quartz outcroppings similar to the California Mother Lode District, the Rio Del Monte is one of the few remaining and probably the largest patented, unexplored gold-silver deposits in So. Arizona. It is located in the Little Harquahala Mts. Of La Paz Co. Arizona. 9.5 miles North of I- 10, 3 miles North of the famous Harquahala and Golden Eagle historic gold mines, and 5 miles South of Highway 60 at the town of Salome. The well maintained county road cuts three corners of the property at the main mine entrances.

The sole owners of this mine have completed a reclamation of closure plan pursuant to ARS title 27-chapter 6 on 123 acres of the property. They have state and federal mine I.D. numbers. The land has been recently surveyed and the survey recorded.

To date the owners have produced decorative and structural rock products mostly for local markets, to the extent that they have developed enough flat ground and road systems to support a commercial rock crushing operation. A 70' x 11' 200,000 lb. capacity truck scale is in place and water well has been drilled.

The Salome area is on the verge of experiencing explosive growth and the proximity of the fully permitted Rio Del Monte Mine to this growth and also the growth in the West Valley of Phoenix makes this fractured structural and decorative rock potentially extremely profitable. In addition the mineral potential to be explored by an ongoing profitable rock operation is icing on the cake and these revenues could be huge.

Results from two mineral surveys and historical data indicate gold values up to .57 oz/ton and silver to 1.6 oz/ton. The majority of 200 assayed samples show gold values. The conclusions of the most recent survey (1982) suggested the probability of high grade lenticular ore shoots in several areas of the property. Copper mineralization in portions of the quartz veins is common.
