Bumblebee Gold #4 is located in the valley of gold bearing Yavapai schist which is the basement rock and strikes well over 60 miles in a north-south direction and is several miles or more in width. Much of the schist is covered with alluvium and the placer gold is generally found under the alluvium and in the cracks, fractures and crevices of the schist host rock. In our testing, we have recovered fines, flakes and pickers of placer gold in the alluvium.
Gold bearing narrow quartz veins traverse the schist and our testing recovered fine gold when samples of quartz was pulverized minus 80 mesh and ran through our Desert Fox Gold Wheel.
Bumblebee Gold #4 is a 20.66 acre lode gold claim located in Yavapai County about 55 miles north-northwest of Phoenix. The nearest full-service town is Black Canyon City, approximately 14 miles to the south on Hwy 17. Black Canyon City has restaurants, bars, groceries, gas, propane and numerous RV parks. Access to the claim is good for a high centered 2wd, road runs east-west through the claim. The claim is between 2900-3000 feet in elevation and reasonably flat, traversed by several dry desert washes. Placer gold can be recovered in the washes, gulches and higher ground.
