San Domingo Gold Mine

San Domingo Gold Mine offers the opportunity to acquire 250± acres of unpatented gold claims within the historic San Domingo Gold Field of central Arizona, an area with a documented history of placer gold exploration and mining dating to the late 1800s. The property encompasses tributaries that feed the San Domingo and Rogers Wash placer systems, historically recognized for gold that occurs from the surface toward bedrock.

Historical accounts provide important context for the property. In 1911, Chas. A. Dinsmore documented extensive placer activity in the San Domingo area and reported that gold was generally distributed from the surface to bedrock. Engineer Thomas Lane Carter’s 1912 report described hundreds of test pits in the Rogers Wash area and estimated approximately 4.4 million cubic yards of placer material. His testing included systematic sampling and measurement of recovered gold, with an average reported value of $0.40 per cubic yard and higher concentrations in selected areas.

The property’s modern history began when Randy Sealey researched the historic San Domingo Field and located the Sanger Dam referenced in Dinsmore’s correspondence. Subsequent prospecting and research led to the acquisition of several hundred acres of placer ground.

The property provides an opportunity to acquire a historically documented placer gold property with substantial exploration and sampling history, existing mining-related improvements, and demonstrated gold recovery from portions of the current holdings.
