There are numerous small pits, shafts and trenches that expose copper-gold mineralization on the Gold Butte claim group.
Placer gold can be recovered in many of the small desert washes and gulches.
The Butte Mine, a small past producing gold, copper and barite mine is located about 150 yards east of the east side line of the claim group.
Almost all mineralization occurs along the northern edge of the mountain range, though not everywhere associated with older plutonic rocks. In the Webb Mountain area quartz-tourmaline alteration and quartz-chrysocolla-cuprite veins in small faults suggest remobilization and alteration of previously strata-bound volcanogenic sulfide deposits by younger hydrothermal circulation. The mineral deposits have undergone metamorphism.
A mining investment group holds the claims to the east and rumor has it that they plan to do some exploration drilling and trenching soon.
The Gold Butte claim group consist of four 20 acre unpatented lode mining claims amounting to 80 acres. The claims are located in southwestern Maricopa County south of Tonopah and north of Gila Bend, AZ. Very good access for a high centered 2WD vehicle. Several roads and jeep trails lead to this group.
The Southern Pacific Railroad line is located about 1.5 miles NW of the claim group. The water known in the immediate area is a ranchers stock pond about 1500 feet north of the north end line of the claims which is visible on Google Earth.
