Colorado was home to one of the greatest gold rushes the world has
ever seen where millions of ounces of gold have been mined continuously
for the past 148 years. To this day, the region is known for gold
production.
Over a 15 year period, working closely with business, government
and community leaders, the company has purchased and strategically
consolidated three of the best mines in the Silverton Mining District.
Historically, significant quantities of gold were produced from
high-grade ore found in the Silverton Mining District. A significant
portion of this production was from the Gold King Mine, which is
the centerpiece of Colorado Goldfield's land position. The Mayflower
Mine produced large quantities of gold, and the Mogul Mine is noted
for it's past high grade base metal production. All these historic
producers are included in the company's mining properties in the
famed San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado.
The Company is exploring extensive surface and subsurface, high-grade
mineralized zones at the Silverton mines. Based on the results obtained
from Colorado Goldfield's current early-stage exploration investment,
the stage will soon be set for the dramatic next steps in the journey
from discovery to determination of an economical ore body. At that
stage, Colorado Goldfield will be able to exploit the advantages
of its recent purchase of the Pride of the West Mill, which will
allow for a shorter term production timeframe.
Colorado Goldfield's full-scale, early-stage exploration program
is centered on the original Gold King Mine, the most advanced of
the three mining properties. The Gold King Mine has a documented
expenditure of $9.7 million in the late 1980s, when it was the major
property of the public company Gold King Consolidated, Inc.
With the advanced stage Gold King property and the Pride of the
West Mill in Howardsville, Colorado, the Company projects that initial
gold production can potentially occur within a two to three year
time frame, rather than the standard 8-10 year lead time for most
mining projects.
Colorado Goldfields is also currently considering the acquisition
or staking of other new properties in the San Juan County Mining
District.
