The  'EL Halcon Oro is a 80 acre placer Mining claim and is conveniently located about 25 miles south-southwest of Wickenburg, Arizona and about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

This beautiful claim is located on the northeastern flanks of the Belmont Mountains, near the home of the famous Vulture Gold Mine.

 It is located in Maricopa County in the well known Vul Mining District. Many gold-copper rich past producing mines are just south and west of this claim. The well known Vulture Mine is only few miles to the north.  This mine is one of the main gold mines in south central Arizona.  Elevations on the claim average about 2000  feet.

 Desert washes traverse the claim from west to east and act as a catch basin for highly gold mineralized ground on the claim and surounding 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 HIGH CENTERED TWO WHEEL DRIVE ACCESS  NEAR THE CLAIM 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 (see photo with truck).  There are mile after mile of jeep trails to take your jeep, dune buggy, ATV, dirt bike or even horses on.
THE LAST 8 PHOTOS WERE TAKEN ON THE  ACTUAL CLAIM OR OVERVIEWS.
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 on the nearby mine dumps, washes and benches as float. This claim is in a very 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 and in nearby caves. 
 

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 process 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 or specimens. The Federal Government owns the land. This 80 acre placer claim consists of almost 3,500,000 square feet.  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. 80 acres equals over an amazing 580 city lots. How long do you think it will take you to adequately prospect 580 city lots?..........

A great two wheel drive road leads near the claim. Just park, unload your gear and you'll be mining in less then one half day. 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 monsoon 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.

SO WHY IS THIS CLAIM AVAILABLE?
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.   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.
