Own a piece of nevada mining history
Offered for sale is a 20.66-acre unpatented federal lode mining claim
located in the historic Garfield Mining District of Mineral County, Nevada .
This property combines documented historic workings, visible mining development,
direct road access, mineralized rock exposures, and modern portable-XRF field screening
showing gold, silver, copper and additional polymetallic elements in selected samples.
This is not being presented as undeveloped desert acreage. It is an established mining
prospect within a historic Nevada district containing visible workings and documented
past exploration activity.

20.66-Acre Lode Claim
Mineral County, Nevada
Historic Garfield Mining District
Documented Historic Producer
Historic Underground Workings
Road Accessible
Approximately 40 Prospects
Three to Four Shallow Shafts
Gold, Silver & Copper Indicators
Polymetallic Exploration Potential
Portable-xrf field results
Selected mineralized rock samples collected from the property were screened in the
field using an Olympus Delta portable XRF analyzer . Photographs of
the instrument, sample material and displayed readings are included with this listing.
HIGHLIGHTED FIELD SAMPLE #3
Gold — Au
458 ppm
Silver — Ag
760 ppm
Copper — Cu
11.19%
For mathematical comparison only, 458 ppm Au equals approximately
13.36 troy ounces per short ton ,
and 760 ppm Ag equals approximately
22.17 troy ounces per short ton .
These conversions do not establish a certified ore grade.
FIELD SAMPLE #2
Gold — Au
97 ppm
Silver — Ag
42 ppm
Copper — Cu
5,983 ppm
Iron — Fe
58.77%
Zinc — Zn
12.06%
Exploration context: Portable-XRF screening indicated multiple elements
across selected samples, including gold, silver, copper, zinc, bismuth, manganese,
lead, nickel, tin and antimony. The presence and displayed concentrations of these
elements should be independently verified by an accredited laboratory before being
relied upon for technical or economic decisions.
Documented historic workings
Available historical records describe approximately:
Approximately 40 prospects
Three to four shallow shafts
Workings covering roughly one-third of a mile
A mineralized thrust contact reported at approximately five feet wide
Historic development and disturbed ground remain visible in the property photographs.
All underground openings, shafts, cuts and historic workings should be considered
dangerous and must not be entered without qualified professionals, proper equipment
and authorization.
Garfield mining district
The property is situated within Nevada's historic Garfield Mining District between
Hawthorne and Mina in Mineral County. The broader district is associated with historic
gold, silver, copper, lead, tungsten and antimony exploration and production.
The claim is situated within a portion of the Garfield Mining District containing
numerous documented historic mines, prospects and underground workings. The district
has been recognized for precious and base metal mineralization for well over a century
and continues to attract exploration interest today.
Established historic mining district
Numerous documented historic mines, prospects and underground workings are located
throughout the surrounding Garfield Mining District.
References to surrounding historic mining activity are provided for regional geological
and historical context only and should not be interpreted as evidence of mineralization
or economic potential on the offered claim.
Access & location
The property is accessible from the Garfield Flat Road area. Existing roads and tracks
provide practical access to the general claim area, subject to current road, weather,
land-management and seasonal conditions.

HISTORIC DISTRICT • EXISTING WORKINGS • ROAD ACCESS
Original development plan
Follow the existing workings toward the documented mining trend
When this property was originally acquired, the development concept was to advance
exploration from the existing existing historic workings in the direction shown by the arrow
in the accompanying maps and aerial images.
That direction trends toward a concentrated area containing numerous documented
historic mines, prospects and underground workings within the Garfield Mining
District. The broader district has a long history of mineral exploration and
production, making this corridor an attractive exploration target.
Exploration Thesis:
The original working hypothesis was that the mineralized structure associated with
the existing adit and historic workings may continue along the same general trend
toward the larger cluster of documented mines and prospects shown on the maps.
The intent was to continue mapping, sampling and, if supported by the results, advance
the underground workings in that direction, subject to proper engineering, permitting,
technical review, safety planning and confirmation that the mineralized structure
continued as expected.
This remains an exploration concept rather than a confirmed geological conclusion.
Additional professional mapping, systematic sampling, geophysics, drilling and
accredited laboratory analysis would be required to determine whether the underground
vein or mineralized system continues in that direction.
Why we are selling
This is a portfolio-allocation decision—not a distressed sale.
Since acquiring the property, our company has expanded into multiple active development
projects involving gold, lithium, manganese, rare earth elements, antimony and other
strategic minerals throughout the western United States.
With several projects already requiring significant time, management attention and
development capital, the property has remained largely inactive. Rather than continue
allowing the property to sit without being advanced, we have decided to offer it to a
buyer who may be in a better position to pursue the next phase of exploration.
If time and resources were unlimited, this is a property we would continue investigating.
Our decision to sell reflects the need to concentrate on projects already moving through
active development—not a lack of interest in the property's exploration potential.

Important ownership information
This sale concerns an unpatented federal lode mining claim .
It is not a sale of patented private land, a residence, or guaranteed surface ownership.
The purchaser receives the seller's transferable possessory mining-claim interest,
subject to applicable federal and state law, valid existing rights, land-management
requirements, annual maintenance obligations and all other applicable rules.
The buyer is responsible for independently confirming claim status, boundaries,
access, land status, maintenance requirements, county-recording requirements,
BLM requirements, environmental restrictions and intended-use permissions before bidding.
Exploration & xrf disclosure
Portable XRF instruments are field-screening tools. Results can be affected by sample
preparation, surface irregularities, mineralogy, particle size, moisture, calibration,
testing mode, matrix effects, testing duration and other factors. Portable-XRF results
are not substitutes for properly collected, documented and analyzed laboratory assays.
The readings shown were obtained from selected individual rock samples and are not
random, systematic or representative samples of the entire claim. They do not establish
average grade, continuity, tonnage, mineral resources, mineral reserves, mineability,
recovery, metallurgy or economic value.
No representation or guarantee is made that the property contains economically
recoverable minerals or will support profitable mining. Mining and mineral exploration
are speculative and require substantial additional investigation, permitting, technical
work and capital.
