The Placerita project presently consists of nine mineral properties within a 20 mile radius in Yavapai County, Arizona. Alliance Mining’s ground lies within the mineral-rich geological belt known as the Transitional Zone between the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range provinces.
The properties of the Placerita region were first mined by spanish miners who started mining operations in the region in the 1880's. The region hosted several stamp mills and arrastre's for processing free gold. This mining community was wiped out by a flash flood in the 1890's. The next mining era was between 1920's and 1945 were several mining companies were in the region before the downturn in the mining as a result of the war powers act of 1942. The war powers act forced miners and resources to move from precious metal mines to base metals. Therefore most of the gold and silver mining ceased in the region and base metal exploration and mines took over the region. After the war most of the base metal mines closed as mining lost its importance within the local economies for new industries. Since the war years there has been little to no known recorded exploration except for any exploration done by Phelps Dodge Mining Corporation who has held most of the ground in this region since the post war years until recently. We are in the process of trying to acquire any Phelps Dodge Geological information on our region.
Alliance Mining is presently examining a number of other properties within this region. Our intent is to acquire considerably more ground over time to increase the number of exploration targets for potential resource delineation.
