The Company presently owns ten mineral properties within a fifty 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 geological provinces. Our specific region once hosted over three thousand mines before the Second World War.
Mining District History
The region's first mining inhabitants were spanish . The region hosted numerous stamp mills and arrastres for processing free gold; however the mining community was wiped out by a flash flood in the 1890's. The next mining era commenced between the 1920's to 1945 were the whole county boasted over 3000 registered mines. before the Second World War. The War powers act of 1942 forced miners and resources to move from precious metal mines to base metals in order to help out the War effort. Gold and silver mining ceased in the region and base metal exploration and mines took over the region. A majority of these mines did not reopen after the war. The remaining mining companies started consolidating and began targeting lower grade bulk tonnage open pit ore deposits near surface due to the advent of new larger machinery and equipment that resulted from the war effort.
Since WW2, there has been little to no- known exploration in most of these former mining properties. Phelps Dodge held most of this ground up until the 1990's until high tenure renewal rates were introduced. Alliance Mining has been exploring and acquiring mineral properties in the region since 2002. These properties, it believes, will host significant mineral resources of both gold and base metals once delineated into 43-101 compliant resources.
Alliance Mining is presently establishing a pipeline of highly prospective mineral properties in the region that may be delineated quickly while dropping mineral properties that do not meet our expectations for other mineral properties in our pipeline of mineral properties.
