Other states often tax mining claims. OKAY, Now here is the description of Your Mining Claim The 'GRANDE GOLD WASH' 160 acre placer Mining claim is conveniently located between Wickenburg and Quartszite, Arizona. It is located in southern La Paz County in the well known Ellsworth Gold Mining District. Many gold rich past producing mines are located less then two miles to the northeast. Elevations on the claim average about 2150 feet.Several large desert washes traverse the claim from the south to the north and act as a major catch basin for over five miles of highly gold mineralized ground on the claim and just south of the claim. Visualize millions of years of wind, rain and flash floods attacking and eroding the mineralized outcrops and carrying the heavy minerals and gold into this major drainage system. This claim has GOOD FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND ATV ACCESS AND IS PRICED FOR ANY BUDGET. Great large level campsites nearby. Some of these campsites are large enough to accommodate a dozen or more large RV’s, or travel trailers. There are mile after mile of jeep trails to take your jeep, dune buggy, ATV, dirt bike or even horses on. Gold and other valuable minerals are found in the small and large washes and high gravel benches. The washes carry a lot of mineral rich black sands (see photo). Great rusty quartz-gold bearing specimens can be found in the washes and benches as float.There are dozens of prospects, mine shafts and tunnels to explore on the claim to the south and southeast of this claim. This claim is in a highly mineralized area. This area is great for rock hounds, metal detecting, high banking, relic hunting and dry-washing. Well worn Indian and game trails are abundant, making great hiking trails. Ancient Indian earthen pottery (shards) and an occasional arrowhead are often seen along these trails. The corners are well flagged and marked with metal tags, designating the claim corner and the name of the claim (as required by the State of Arizona). Please note that this is an unpatented mining claim meaning that you are purchasing the surface mineral rights only. The Government retains the surface rights. We will provide the buyer with GPS coordinates, allowing you ease in locating the corner posts and the claim lines. This unpatented placer claim, means that you can shovel the gold bearing sand and gravel through a dry washer to recover the gold or run a high banker if you have a water supply. Or if you are lazy like myself, use a metal detector and hunt for the lunkers. The Federal Government owns the land. This 160 acre placer claim consists of approximately 6,969,600 square feet, or 2,640 feet in width by 2,640 feet in length. More than enough area to dig on if you so desire or have the energy. Think of it like this, the average city lot is about 60' by 100', or about 6000 Square Feet. Seven lots will easily fit into one acre. 160 acres equals over an amazing 1,160 city lots. How long do you think it will take you to adequately prospect 1,160 city lots?.......... A good four wheel drive road leads right to the claim. Just park, unload your gear and you'll be mining in less then one hour. We will supply the winning bidder a topographic map of the area, which is very detailed, and will show the claim boundaries outlined. Dozens of small prospects, shafts and tunnels on nearby mineralized zones, make this area great for rockhounding, metal detecting, drywashing etc. Gentle rolling hills, small washes with good bedrock exposures and lots of black sands. Recent heavy rains have undoubtedly uncovered areas that have never been exposed before. Consider the tremendous force of flood waters moving huge boulders downstream, freeing gold nuggets that were trapped under the boulders for thousands of years. These nuggets may be re-deposited at the first natural trap they encounter, sometimes under a mere few inches of sand and gravel. 9 Good Reasons To Own Your Own Mining Claim… 1. Experts are predicting gold prices to go much higher as the U.S. Dollar declines and world conditions continue to deteriorate. 2. Spot Gold closed 3-17-2008 at $1023.50 per ounce and it's now pulled back to $875.00 due to profit taking. Kitco Metals. 3. The price of quality claims will increase as gold rises and good ground becomes scarce or staked up. 4. Some or all of your expenses may be tax deductible (check with your accountant). 5. A great place to hang out or hide out for part or all of the winter. 6. Gold prospecting and recreational mining is a fun, healthy, exciting and often rewarding hobby. 7. Peace and quiet, away from phones, faxes, computers, television or nagging demands by others. 8.

GOOD QUESTION, HERE'S THE ANSWER! Gold Mining.....The 21st Century Gold Rush Some of you are probably wondering why there are still quality gold mines and prospects available this day and age. Well, there are a number of reasons that first class gold mining properties are still available. In 1942 President Roosevelt passed War Production Board (WPB) Limitation Order No. 208 that closed down almost all of the active gold mines in the United States. The emphasis during the war was on mining base metals and other strategic metals and minerals needed for the war effort. A severe shortage of skilled labor developed in the nonferrous metal mines. This was due in part to the expanding need for nonferrous metals, and in part to a depletion of mining manpower as a result of the military draft and the attraction of higher wages paid by other industries. It became apparent that the only reservoir of skilled mining labor was that which remained in the gold mines. Pressure was brought to bear on the WPB to close down the gold mines with the expectation that many gold miners would thus be attracted to the nonferrous mines. By the time the war had ended many of the gold miners had died off, drifted off or were involved in other types of mining or other professions. While shut down during the war a large number of the gold mines had deteriorated, or the equipment removed and relocated to be used for base metal mines, or the mines were flooded and consequently abandoned. In the boom years that followed the war the price of gold remained fixed or frozen while other metal prices climbed skyward. Base metal prices continued to climb into the 1960's yet gold prices stayed dormant. In the mid 1970's gold became active and by the end of 1979 had climbed to over $800.00 per ounce. This increase generated considerable interest in the yellow metal. The base metal mining companies began to explore for gold and a large number of large low grade gold deposits were discovered and put into production. Even the large oil companies formed gold exploration subsidiaries and the chase was on. Gold recovery technology continued to improve and coupled with strong prices a tremendous amount of gold was produced from large open pit low grade deposits. The smaller high grade deposits were basically ignored. If a company could not easily discover a million ounces or more in the ground, they dropped the project and moved on to greener pastures. In the past few years the yellow metal price dipped several times into the $250.00 per ounce range. Recently gold hit twenty-eight year record highs and the price has been holding steadily, about $925.00 per ounce. There has been some profit taking recently by investors, however the experts are predicting gold prices to continue to climb to the $1500-2000 range within a year. And maybe they are right with the weak U.S. Dollar and world conditions continuing to deteriorate. The large visible surface gold mineralized prospects have been explored, mined and are basically gone now. Another possibility for a Mother Lode discovery is in areas concealed by soil, gravels and rocks. What is clearly visible and remains now are the smaller high grade mines and prospects, ignored previously by the big boys. There is little doubt that as gold prices continue to rise that these smaller gold deposits will be acquired by companies with the desire to stay in the gold mining business. We believe that this creates a tremendous opportunity for those with the vision and desire to get into an exciting and potentially profitable venture. The time to act is now, while many quality properties exist.Ask us about our 'One of a Kind Guarantee' Below is text copied from the Bureau of Land Management website The local Phoenix office can be reached at 602-417-9200. • Placer Mining Claim.

Spend as much time as possible scouting the property. Noting such important features as topography, thickness of alluvial cover (soil, sand & gravel cover), types of rock float found in washes and of course quartz, especially rusty, iron stained quart or rusty, copper stained quartz float. Often you may find specks of visible gold in these rusty quartz specimens, a very good clue indeed. 2. Look for exposed bedrock in the washes, not just any bedrock but rough, ragged bedrock with deep crevices or fractures that will trap the gold as the heavy minerals are washed downstream by heavy rain storms. Probably the ideal setting is where the wash makes a sharp turn and widens, so that any gold traveling downstream will slow at that point and drop out or be deposited on the inside turn or curve. 3. Try to locate several of these areas before you begin testing. Some of you may ask why? Why not test that first good looking spot that you find? Well my answer to that is simple enough. Let us say that you test the first spot that you locate and find some gold. You will probably hang in there and work the area to death, right? You might be recovering pennies, when with a little extra testing you might be recovering dollars with the same amount of effort, fifty feet away. Now let us say that you spend the extra time and identify at least three promising areas. You test Area A and find a lot of fine gold but no nuggets. You test Area B and find nothing and finally Area C produces several small nuggets and some fine gold. Which area would you spend some extra time? My guess is that you would work Area C until you run out of gold, Right? Remember that one small nugget might be equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of specks of fine or flour gold. THE KEY POINT TO HITTING A PAYSTREAK IS TEST, TEST, & TEST. 4. Now I will contradict myself with this revelation. The two largest nuggets that I've ever found were not found on bedrock. In fact the largest was found at least ten feet above bedrock with a metal detector. So I guess the old saying that "gold is where you find it" still applies. But to increase your odds, test bedrock first. 5. Remember that there is false bedrock. False bedrock might be cemented or compacted gravels, caliche or even impervious layers of clay. Gold and other heavy minerals will work their way down until they hit bedrock or false bedrock. At that point gold accumulates (under ideal conditions) in what we call "pay streaks". 6. If all you have is a metal detector, start with the bedrock theory and then work up stream, up slope and even test the tops of hills or ridges if your in gold country. 7. Always, and I mean always check the heavy concentrates in your pan even if you see no gold. Carry a good quality magnifying glass (hand lens) for this purpose. Check for black sands and especially for iron pyrite cubes. Black sands and pyrite cubes are an indicator that gold might be there. I often find placer gold associated with pyrite cubes. Ideally both black sands and pyrite cubes are a good clue, especially with a lot of rusty quartz float in the area. Please note: Not all placer gold is yellow. Several of the largest nuggets I have ever found were coated with iron oxide, giving them a rusty look. Another point to consider is some of your concentrates may carry a considerable amount of gold but none is visible to the naked eye. If in doubt get those cons assayed. You might be pleasantly surprised. 8. We occasionally get a lot of rain here in western Arizona, which may be considered either good or bad. Heavy rains fill potholes in bedrock creating miniature reservoirs. This is good. Great places to do your test panning without having to lug water. But the bad side is that it will take days of warm, windy weather to dry out the gravels for dry washer testing. The fast high waters in the washes have undoubtedly uncovered areas never exposed before, uncovering nuggets and pay streaks and relocating them. I’m guessing that some fabulous discoveries will be made this year, of course they may not all make the local newspapers as some prospectors are very secretive. 9. I have spent as many as six long back breaking days straight with pan, trowel, pick, shovel and whisk broom cleaning out crevices and cracks with no luck. I’ve also gotten lucky the very first hour and consequently recovered over sixteen ounces before lunch. a nice mornings work. 10. 160 acres is a very large area, almost 7,000,000 square feet. Remember that you will not find gold every where you dig, no matter how good the claim is. Placer gold values are generally very erratic, forming or occurring in those much sought after pay streaks. Play detective and seek out the clues that mother nature has provided and you may be well rewarded for your efforts. Commonly Asked Questions Q. Can I build a house on the property? A. No. This is for mining and recreational purposes only. The U.S. Gov't owns the land, you will get the "placer mineral rights". Q. Can I keep all of the gold that I find? A. Yes, Additionally, there are no royalties due either. Q. Can I hunt on the property? A. Yes, it is public land so check local hunting regulations with the Arizona Game and Fish Dept. first. Q. How long can I camp on the property? A. 14 consecutive days in the same spot if camping. If you are mining, there are other conditions that apply. Please check with the BLM (602) 417-9200. Q. Do you provide proof of ownership? A. Yes, upon request. Q. Have you personally found gold in this area? A. Yes. Every claim we sell has a valid mineral discovery. Q. Why are you selling this claim? A. Because we have several others, more than we can mine in ten lifetimes. Q. What does it cost each year to maintain a mining claim? A. As low as $10.00 per year for the BLM...if you qualify for the "small miners exemption", plus the recording fee at the county where the claim is located. Get additional details from the BLM, (602) 417-9200. Q. How long can I keep the claim? A. Forever, so long as you follow the maintenance requirements and the US Gov't doesn't change the mining laws. Q. Are there taxes on mining claims? A. Not in Arizona. Q. I thought that the BLM limited a mining claim to 20 acres per person, how can you sell a 160 acre claim, don't you need 8 people? A. No, actually the 20 acre rule applies to the original LOCATING of the claim. Once the claim is recorded, the original locators may transfer their interest in 'the claim' to one person. Since it is only 'one claim', you may do the same if someday you decide to gift a family member, or sell. | ||||||||||||
