Description
DESERT ROSE
AMC444989
Two mines in one – an existing hard rock mine/adit and a massive open pit operation onsite. The adit is tucked away and very solid – you can clearly see the huge vein they were working. This one would be easy to expend. Plus, a ton of ore onsite in two huge separate tailings piles, already separated and mostly classified – just waiting to be picked up and transported for processing.
At one time, this was largely a major open pit operation I would guess. Open pit mining is a lot safer and especially more cost effective than traditional hard rock mining. No collapses to worry about and you can move a lot more material in a lot less time and effort.
Buyer will receive the following with their completed transaction:

ABOUT THE MINING DISTRICT
This is one of only a handful of available mines from the historic Aguila Arizona mining district. Aquila is largely known as a manganese and copper mining area that is located at the North end of the Bighorn Mountains, about 14 miles South of Aguila at an altitude of 2,300 feet. At one time it was actually the second greatest producer of manganese in all of Arizona.In 1920, the USGS did a major study on the area and reported that in addition to manganese, Aguila was also a major producer of Copper. They noted that the local ores, which are composed of “Pre-Cambrian granite, gneiss and schist overlain by Tertiary lava flows”, contained considerable amounts of gold as well as large concentrations of lead and silver.
During WWII, when the government outlawed the mining of precious metals in order to focus the mining industry on mining minerals and metals considered vital for the war effort, Aguila became a big for area for “manganese” as you can probably imagine. Manganese, which is a chemical element (designated by the symbol Mn with the atomic number 25) is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels and was considered a strategic mineral so therefore it was still legal to mine. A lot of manganese was mined here as the record books show, but there was also a large amount of gold, silver and lead that is still visible in the many high grade ore piles that have just been set aside and never shipped.
The clearly exposed and visible individual deposits on this claim range from narrow veins with small but enriched high grade ore shoots, to wide shear and breccia zones of medium grade material. The chief manganese minerals are the common oxides, usually occurring as a mixture of pyrolusite, psilomelane, wad, and manganite. The gangue is composed largely of calcite, quartz; and unreplaced fragments of wall rock.
