About this Project

Gold and other precious and base metal exploration and production have occurred throughout the area.  On the Corral Canyon claim block, mining was conducted for gold and titanium in the 1920’s and 1930’s, and again in the 1970’s.  Gold values of greater than 0.50 ounces of gold per ton have been detected from surface samples collected on the claim block and impressive specimens of coarse visible gold were found in underground workings.

Major companies that held past land positions in the district include Newmont, Asarco, Utah International, Santa Fe, Duval Copper, Cordex and Anaconda.  Cordex drilled 10 reverse circulation holes in the mid-1980’s and intersected anomalous gold in many of the holes with the best intercept containing 25 feet at 0.045 opt gold.
