The Alamo Property consists of 20 Federal Lode claims centred at 33o58’ 45” N 113o 35’ 11” W in Sections 3, 10, 11 and 14, Township 7N Range 13W, La Paz County, Arizona. The claims are staked on BLM Land with no surface impairments. The Alamo Property is 68 km east of Parker, AZ and accessible by 4WD roads from Wenden, 16 km south of the property.
The property covers the former Wenden Mine. A July 1918 report in the Scientific & Mining Press on the Cunningham Pass district notes that ore was shipped from the district grading “18-20% copper and $10 gold per ton” (~0.5 OPT Au). The Barkdoll and No. 1 Shafts in the northern portion of the property have large accessory dumps. Development at the Barkdoll Shaft includes drifts down to the 1000-foot level and drifts at the Copper Chief / Old No. 1 Shaft about 200 m to the southeast are mapped down to the 400-foot level. An October 1929 Smelter Settlement Sheet for the Wenden Mine shows a gross weight of 50 tons grading 0.5 OPT Au and 9.65% Cu.
Mineralization in the district consists of specular and earthy hematite with limonite in brittle structures cutting Proterozoic gneiss. Gold reports with chalcopyrite and pyrite, largely oxidized to malachite, azurite, chalcocite and limonite. The mineralization occurs as vein-fill in northwest-striking, northeast-dipping anastomosing faults with dips varying from 30o to 90o. Individual vein-filled faults at larger mines in the area are from 50 to 150 m in length and occur in networks. Mineralization in the district is iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) in style, hosted in a detachment-fault related extensional normal faults along a mean trend of approximately 330o. A bulk tonnage copper-gold target might be present where converging and intersecting structures have created large damage zones.
Silver Range acquired the Alamo Property by staking in February 2025 and has conducted geological mapping, sampling, soil geochemical surveys and VLF-EM surveys on the property since then. Sampling to date has returned up to 37.8 g/t Au and 19.15% Cu. Gold grades in surface grab samples collected to date (48) average 4.39 g/t Au with 27% returning more than 5 g/t Au. Copper grades in the same set average 2.47% Cu with 33% returning greater than 2% Cu. Soil geochemical survey in the eastern portion of the property mapped a large gold in soil anomaly greater than 20 ppb Au with maximum response of 181 ppb Au. Copper values in the same data set mapped more discrete anomalies, two of which were associated with mine workings and with maximum response of 649 ppm Cu. VLF-EM surveys identified 5 conductors in the eastern portion of the property, four of which are associated with known mineralization.
Silver Range intends to conduct additional geological mapping, surface sampling, geochemical and geophysical surveys (EM / IP) on the property to delineate trenching and drill targets.
