“The Best Place to Find Gold Is Where It Has Been Found Before!”
Mockingbird Mineral District History The historic Mockingbird Mineral District is about 60 miles southeast of Las Vegas on 93 in the Black Mountains near White Hills and Dolan Springs. Mining started in 1892 with the discovery of Gold and Silver in the area. By 1907 there were a total of eight mines operating until 1935. Geologists and Miners missed the “Mockingbird Mineral Trend”, a major Gold deposit. The Mockingbird Mineral Trend involves an important new type of Arizona gold deposit, called a “detachment fault” deposit. Detachment fault deposits were first recognized as a separate form of gold deposit in the 1980’s. Gulf Mineral Resources initiated the gold rush at the Mockingbird District in 1982. The project was turned down as Gulf was of the opinion that the project was not big enough. Santa Fe Gold acquired the claim block next and cancelled the project without drilling on the erroneous theory that the gold was largely found in veins and not in wall rock. A seismic survey by Anaconda (the next owner) confirmed that the detachment fault was largely horizontal with reserves of 500,000 to 1,000,000 ounces of Gold still present. There is little subsequent exploration history on the property. Arco (Anaconda’s parent company) shut Anaconda down and abandoned the project. Chevron then staked the same area, did their geochemistry and selected drill targets. Chevron then merged with Gulf, and the combined unit was under the management of former Gulf personnel. As explained above, Gulf had previously turned down the project and now moved to terminate it.
