The Heavy Metal claims are situated within a trend of highly mineralized schist that hosts numerous hi-grade gold and base metal rich mines. The mineralized schist hosts VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) deposits, generally rich in copper, gold, lead, zinc and silver. Numerous quartz veins are found cutting the schist, some are gold rich.
The largest mine in this trend is the huge open pit and underground operation once operated by Phelps Dodge Corporation. It is located on the north end of the trend, near the town of Jerome. Recent mining exploration in this trend include:
Arizona Metals Corp. - completed the 3rd phase of drilling at the Kay Mine located at the south end of the trend in Black Canyon City. Approximately 12 miles south of the Heavy Metal claim group.

https://kingglobal.gold/king-global-announces-approval-of-required-permits-for-drilling-on-silver-cord-property/Highly Mineralized Precambrian Yavapai Schist is the host rock for most of the lode and placer gold. Chert and banded iron formation are useful marker horizons. Yavapai schist once was ocean floor, has been lifted and now the bedded well foliated schist is almost vertical. Black smokers deposited the metal rich material. Over time, layers of this metal rich material was eventually covered and then uplifted to where they are exposed today.
Prospecting activities have identified multiple mineralized horizons, much like a layer cake standing on end. These layers can be traced for miles by quartz, chert and banded iron formations, even in areas where the ore itself is not exposed but concealed by thin alluvial cover. The lode gold is found in limonite stained, vuggy quartz veins and stringers that traverse the schist. Placer gold in the form of fines, flakes and small nuggets are found on the claims in desert washes, gulches and the slopes below the gold vein outcrops.
The long belt of highly mineralized schist traverses the valley in a north-south direction from Jerome to Rock Springs. Both east and west of the belt of schist a course-grained granite intrudes. This granite forms most of the rugged Bradshaws and is gold bearing.
Gold-rich placer mineralization occurs in the ragged schist outcrops. Gold is also found in cracks, fractures, crevices and in the shallow alluvial cover. Placer gold can be found in many of the washes and gulches. Quartz veins in the schist are generally rusty from iron staining and usually vuggy. Small outcrops of altered granite, mafic, and felsic dikes cut the basement schist. Our testing recovered gold in both the schist and the altered granite.The Heavy Metal claim group consists of 13 unpatented lode mining claims in the heart of the Black Canyon Mining District. Located on the eastern slopes of the Bradshaw Mountains in southern Yavapai County.
Gold production in the Bradshaw Mountains dates back to the 1860’s when prospectors discovered rich placer gold in the streams, washes and gulches. Eventually, the placer gold was traced up-stream to the source. They found extremely rich quartz veins, ledges, and shear zones. Today, many tunnels, trenches and pits dot the gold-rich mountain range. Arizona Metals Corp and King Global Venture are both currently exploring volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits within 12 miles of the Heavy Metal claim group.
The Heavy Metal claims consist of 268.58 acres with elevations ranging from 3200-3600’. Located 3 miles NW of the town of Bumble Bee and 4 miles SE of the old mining camp of Cleator, Arizona. Cleator: https://petersantenello.com/videos/he-bought-a-ghost-town-in-arizonas-desert/
You will need a high clearance 4wd or ATV to access the claims as it gets a bit rough once you leave Bumble Bee/Crown King Rd. There are two unmaintained access roads running N-S through the claims.
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 prior to September 1st, effective upon date of purchase, in order to keep the claims active. The current rate is $200.00 per claim.
