​

Overview

The claim features sloping wash sides that range from 10 to 40 vertical feet from the east floor that begins to mellow out towards the center and western portion of the claim creating a well defined alluvial fan with a large yardage concentration of alluvial materials to mine. There are two main washes running thru the claim and 6 smaller, shallower, and more rocky washes that flow into the main wash.  

​

These smaller washes are typically narrow in width with steep sides, and there is a large amount of bedrock exposed, perfect for dry washing, metal detecting, and crevicing.

​

This claim is suite for both a large commercial dry washer operator or a smaller recreational miner who can focus on and around the bedrock outcrops found on the claim.

Quartzsite Arizona General Information 
Located in SW Arizona Quartzsite is a town of 1,745 full time residents and provides a haven from cold/snowy weather during the winter that attracts 750,000 RV campers seeking warm weather fun.  The town hosts numerous RV and Gem shows during the year.  To accommodate the influx of people their are 52 RV parks located in and around Quartzsite.  Additionally, the BLM has recognized the need for long term dispersed camping and has created numerous LTVA's that cover 11,400 acres around Quarstzite, a season permit to stay within the LTVA area is 180 USD and is valid for 7 months.  The LTVA's have dump locations for grey and black water, and fresh water fill up stations.  Finally, numerous larger towns exist approximately 30 miles east and west of Quartzsite that hold big box stores and large grocery stores.

 

The greater Quartzsite area is home to excellent recreational opportunities outside the scope of gold prospecting including an expansive trail system for hiking, and ATV/UTV recreation.

Access

Pickup Truck/ATV accessible via dirt BLM road system.  Standard 4WD pickup truck access is doable as the roads are relatively flat and well traveled from the Quartzsite LTVA South entrance.  No big mountains to traverse.  

​

It is always recommended to carry spare tires, tire patching and re-inflating equipment, a personal SOS device, GPS, and to tell someone where you are going and when you will be back. 

​

Access from the LTVA South entrance is via the New Water Mountain RD and numerous documented spur trails run thru the claims off the the main access RD so you are able to easily access many parts of the claim.  This is especially important if you are bringing larger heavy mining equipment to the site such as dry washers.

Camping

Camping is allowed on the claim for up to 14 continuous days.  There is a signifcant flat located on the claim that is perfect for camping.  At the time of survey I was able to get two solid bars of cell service via Verizon on the claim with three bars of service at the surrounding ridges.

 

 Additionally, with the LTVA South being so close it would be easy to commute back in forth if you would like to setup a base camp at the LTVA for extended stays.
