EV Resources Limited (ASX: EVR) has consolidated its land position of the historic Cienega Mining District within la Paz Country, Arizona, USA.
The company has successfully pegged the “Golden Eagle” claims, which are situated 13km to the Northwest of the company’s New Pride Project in the historic Cienega District that has yielded many small copper and gold mines, dating back to the 1920s.
This follows on from the consolidation of the ground position at the New Pride Project, prioritizing the Eastern bloc of the Project, close to the former Pride Mine, where mapping and sampling produced a considerable number of high-grade samples.
The company currently holds 145 unpatented lode mining claims for a total of approximately 2,996 acres along with the “Golden Eagle” claims of 18 unpatented claims amounting to 370 acres. All claims are located in the Cienega District of la Paz County, Arizona and the project will henceforth be called the “la Cienega Project”.
The Golden Eagle Claims
Eighteen unpatented claims amounting to 370 acres, have been secured by completing and paying for the pegging and registration commenced by MineOro Explorations, LLC, who have accepted a 2% NSR royalty in return for EVR completing the pegging in its own name. 1% of this Royalty may be purchased prior to development for a cash payment of US$750,000.
The project is located in the Buckskin Mountains of West-Central Arizona and covers ground in the Cienega sub-district on the Buckskin Mining District. Several outcrops of copper and a number of old copper mine workings have been documented on a mineralized trend over a 2.5km, strike.
Much of the underground developments were completed prior to 1910 and minimal reporting was required, although EVR has accessed some records of underground development and sampling. There are numerous existing access roads and only minor rehabilitation will be required to mobilize drilling operations.
The Golden Eagle claims area has extensive historic workings under multiple names. Historic naming conventions include Gray Eagle, Double Eagle, Arizona Empire, Arizona McGinnis, and others. More than 4,000m of underground workings have been reported.
Dominant mineralization of the Buckskin District is related to a regional burial event caused by tectonic over-plating.
The Buckskins experienced a regional MVT-style mineralization event in which Iron-Oxide/Copper mineralization has emplaced along stratigraphic controls within the Paleozoic Sedimentary Rocks.
The Golden Eagle target presents as a block of highly mineralized (iron-oxide/copper-oxide) Paleozoic carbonates and siliciclastic sediments that have been rotated to a sub-vertical orientation. More than 4km of structurally controlled quartz vein mineralization has been identified along this trend. An exploration programme of systematic sampling, mapping, and drone magnetic survey have been proposed to begin in the coming weeks.
