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.
Gold Star claims are directly East of the Idazona Mines. It adjoins past producers on the same trend. Tested well for placer gold, has cu-au vein systems poorly exposed. The large wash and feeder gulches we tested for placer gold tested well.
At the Idazona Mines chrysocolla, with minor gold, silver and lead occur within quartz-carbonate veins in dark green diorite. The veins strike between N15°W and N30°W and dip steeply (75°-85°) to the southwest. The veins are quite abundant, usually between 2 and 30 cm thick and are commonly composed almost completely of grey to yellow carbonate. The carbonate is resistant and forms small ridges in the diorite.
Their west-northwest strike suggests that the quartz-carbonate veins may have filled Tertiary faults or fractures, though it is possible they may be related to the older west-northwest foliation. Metaorphism and deformation and are probably Proterozoic.
The Gold Star Claim group consists of 5 unpatented lode claims between the towns of Tonopah to the north and Gila Bend to the south. The claims are located in the Gila Bend Mountains at an elevation of approximately 1000 feet. Access to the claims can be reached by several roads with a conventional two wheel drive to most areas. Four wheel drive or an ATV will reach the balance of the claims. Water can be obtained from a large pond about 2000 feet southwest of the claim block. I suggest you filter it or boil it prior to drinking it.
On the next business day, you will receive an email from us that includes: your receipt, a copy of the topographical map for your claim, a link to your claim plotted in Google Earth and the GPS coordinates for your claim.
Within 2 weeks you will receive your claim packet in the mail that will contain hard copies of these documents as well as the Location Notice and a full size topographical map. Upon payment in full, we process the claim into your name with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and County.
You are responsible for the annual maintenance fee due to the BLM, payable from January through August, effective upon date of purchase, in order to keep the claim active. The current rate is $200.00 per claim.
