Placer gold deposits occur downstream and west of the On Strike claims. Placer gold can be found in many of the desert washes and gulches. Our testing recovered coarse placer gold, up to 2.7-gram pieces. We found small quartz specimens with visible raisin-like clusters of gold, just down slope from the gold-rich quartz vein outcrops found on these claims. With metal detectors and dry washers, a nice batch of gold and gold bearing specimens could be harvested. We recommend working the hot spots, discovered through your testing. Numerous unexplored narrow rusty gold bearing quartz veins and stringers were seen on the claims.
The On Strike Claims are situated on the eastern slopes of gold rich Bradshaw Mountains, between Bumble Bee and the old mining camp of Cleator. There are prospects and past producing mines surrounding these claims. They include: Hidden Treasure, Golden Turkey, Howard Silver, Howard Copper, Last Chance, Jacquelyn, Republican and Bland Mine within 5 miles. Steve always said, “If you want to find gold, look where gold has been found.” This is one of those places. We have long known the richness of the Bradshaw mountains. Interest in the area picked up after results from the Kay Mine were published. Kay mine proves to be a VMS deposit, located at the south end of Black Canyon City. The host rock is Yavapai Schist, the host of all the past and future au and VMS producers. The On Strike Claim group adjoins our Heavy Metal Claims.
According to old state reports the property about 1 mile southeast has been developed by a 40 ft inclined shaft on the south end of the claim. That shaft was sunk with the plan to explore one of the many gold-silver rich veins that strike in a north-south direction. The old reports mention silver at 3 ounces per ton and visible gold up to 2.5 ounces per ton in gray quartz veins.
The On Strike group of 9 Lode claims are in Yavapai County about 50 miles north of Phoenix. Black Canyon City is 17 miles south and offers gas, groceries, restaurants, bars, propane and numerous RV parks. Even with a high clearance 4wd vehicle, the last bit of the jeep trail gets rough. The rest of the drive is on a good dirt road that takes you to Cleator-Crown King Road. You'll find Bumble Bee area about 2 miles to the southeast. Though Bumble Bee is inhabited, it is referred to as a ghost town. Elevation on the claim ranges from 3100 to 3600 feet.
