Unique Gemstone Claim

​

Overview

Located deep within the Carson National Forest the Kyanite Outcrop 003/004 lodes represents a continuous claim package covering a well documentented multi mineral deposit.  This deposit has sat barren from commercial mining activity since 1943.​

​

This 41.32 acre claim package is ideal for a serious recreational prospector with outcrops of mineralized rock spread across the claim in different lenses rather than one solid vein system.

​

The terrain, while mild compared to high altitude Colorado claims, does have short and steep elevation gain / loss once off of the access road.

​

The benefit to prospecting in New Mexico is of course the mining friendly regulations and relatively cool summer mining season. The length of mining season is approximately 7 months without contending with major mud / snow issues.
