Property Overview

The Sweeney property is a 40 acre site in southern Montana. The mine has produced copper, silver and minimal gold according to reports. This is disputed by local ranchers who state that the previous operators did very well for many years. These statements are further backed by the presense of a 220 amp service box on the property. This would have been a massive expenditure and provides a signifigant benefit to the new operator.
Ores are carbonate in appearance and show iron, galena and some pyrites. Sub-surface mapping and samples showed good values in copper and silver.
The property is beautiful spanning over a small ridgeline into a valley where trucks pulled in to collect ore and ship out for processing. There is not much in the way of dumps, which indicates that most of the muck was of some value and taken for processing. This is a very good sign for any property.
Excellent roads allow for even full size vehicles to navigate nearly 1800 in elevation to the site from the valley floor.

Gold Rush Expeditions, Inc. does offer mining consultation services and assistance with permits for a small fee.
