Our Mission

Goldrock Minerals, LLC is focused on mineral property exploration and development with its principal assets located between Prescott and Wickenburg, Arizona, USA.

The company is advancing the development of its core asset, the Gold Bar Mine, a past producing; high-grade gold property located 15 miles north of Wickenburg, AZ in the Blackrock Mining District.  

Introduction

The Gold Bar Mine, a mine that reportedly produced somewhere close to $25,000,000 worth of gold in its early day, has been analyzed by many qualified geologists and engineers over the last 100 years.  The information that follows is recap of those previous examinations and evaluations.  Most, if not all of the subsequent data were drawn from these reports.

“It is obvious from previous mining, examinations, evaluations, and exploration efforts, that the Gold Bar Property contains considerable potential in gold, silver, and copper, (possibly molybdenum) much of which is yet undeveloped.  

No one company or individual has attempted to consolidate all available data, compile and analyze in a logical fashion, nor fully utilize and evaluate the data to determine the overall potential of the Gold Bar Mine.  The Gold Bar Mine is worthy of such an effort and as such it is hoped that the information to follow brings all exploration and development data up-to-date and in a useable format for expediting development of the Gold Bar Property and its many mineral deposits…………it may be obvious after examining all the data that the Gold Bar Mine is ready for the ultimate test………….production!”

Economics

“Gold Bar mineralization is at least in part structurally controlled and oxidized to a vertical depth of as much as 200’ or more.  Reserves amenable to surface extraction may exceed 2 million tons.  Current underground probable and inferred reserves within the lower levels of Gold Bar Mine (No1 Breccia Zone only) range from 75,000 to 100,000 ounces of gold, with secondary values in silver and copper.  It has been suggested in one or more previous reports that the copper values in the sulphide zone may actually supersede that of gold; only time and future development will determine this possibility.

Surface mineable oxide ores will average approximately 0.25 oz/ton Au; whereas, deeper sulphide ores amenable only to underground methods should average a minimum of 0.55 oz/ton Au, plus silver and copper.

The No. 1 Breccia Zone (Only one of many mineralized zones on the Gold Bar property) contains an oxide reserve base of approximately $15.46 million (in 1995 dollars and would be $46,000,0000 in todays dollars) extending from the Glory Hole at surface down-plunge a distance of 700’ to the 445’ Level.  This reserve is adequate to justify a mining/processing program of about 500 tons/day, with potential expansion as reserves throughout the Property are more precisely defined and developed for commercial exploitation.”

Conclusions

“The many reports and maps appended to this report should be examined and evaluated to determine ones own interpretation of existing data.  The various efforts made by engineers and geologists since 1927, together with mining and development prior to 1927, collectively point to a high level of production potential for the Gold Bar Mine.  This potential exists in known reserves, potential reserves, commercially viable surface mineable oxide ore, and the opportunity to utilize simple gravity processing technique, if other methods are deemed undesirable, inefficient, or just to costly.  The Gold Bar Mine does indeed possess the potential necessary for developing into a viable and successful mining venture”
