Sun Valley Gold Mines has concluded an agreement to acquire a 100% interest (subject to a 10% net profits) in 10 mining claims near Wickenburg, Ariz. The claims include the former Rincon Mining property five miles east of the Congress mine which produced over one million oz of gold in the 1930s. The Congress is currently being rehabilitated by a major mining company and production should resume later this year.
The Rincon property has a history of production that dates back to 1880 with old reports indicating substantial shipments of gold. Sun Valley has proposed an immediate ip survey to locate drill targets along two major vein structures, one 3,300 ft long, and the other over 5,000 ft long. A report written in 1937 indicates that the two structures intersect on this property, thus providing a possible target of major interest. There is hydro-electric power within a mile and abundant water on the property itself plus good road access.
The company will be sending its consulting engineer to the property to correlate old reports and to institute an exploration program.
