Summary
Location and Access
Castle Creek Mining District, Yavapai County, Arizona, approximately 20 miles northeast of Wickenburg. The property has established road access, including an existing BLM Right-of-Way (AZA-33796) providing access to the Swallow Mine area. The project is located in Township 8 North, Range 2 West, Sections 6 and 7
Description
Geology
The Swallow Mine is hosted principally within metamorphic rocks of the Yavapai Schist and associated granitic gneiss. Available geological information describes gold-copper mineralization associated with faulted and fractured structural zones, quartz veining, iron-oxide alteration and locally prominent copper-oxide mineralization. Historical and modern technical work documents multiple mineralized structures and underground exposures warranting systematic follow-up exploration. The available geological, assay and historical information is considered exploration data and is not presented as a current mineral resource or reserve estimate.
History
The Swallow Mine was established in the late 19th century and operated underground for several periods, producing gold and copper. Historical records report approximately 8,300 tons of ore produced containing approximately 2,640 ounces of gold and 3.8 million pounds of copper.
Historic development included two shafts reportedly reaching approximately 220 feet, four working levels and associated underground workings. Phelps Dodge subsequently examined the property in the 1990s, and it has been the subject of additional geological, surveying, sampling and laboratory work.
Swallow Mining LLC has maintained and assembled a substantial archive of historical and modern technical information to support renewed exploration.
Additional Information
Swallow Mining LLC has submitted SMP-100 Rev. 1.2, a new BLM Exploration Notice with a coordinated 43 CFR Part 3715 request. The proposed program is designed to evaluate known mineralized structures through mapping, underground examination, representative sampling, survey verification, laboratory analysis and related exploration activities while maximizing use of existing infrastructure and previously disturbed areas.
Available due-diligence information includes historical mine records, assay reports, underground surveys and drawings, property and claim maps, geological information, photographs and regulatory documentation.
Confidential technical information and data-room access are available to qualified parties following execution of an NDA.
