A surface Cu-Mo-Au-Pb-Zn-Ag-gemstone (turquoise) occurrence/mine located in the WΒ½ sec. 19, T23N, R17W, G&SRM, on private (patented) land. Discovered 1906. Owned & operated by Duval Corp-Pennzoil United Incorporated (100%), Arizona (1979-1986); owned & operated by Cyprus Minerals (100%), Arizona (1986-1993); owned & operated by Cyprus Amax Minerals Company (100%), Colorado (1993-1994); owned & operated by Equatorial Mining Ltd. (1997-2003); owned & operated by Mercator Minerals Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (2003-). Turquoise was mined under lease from the pit. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 1,000 meters.

Mineralization is a porphyry copper deposit (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 79; USGS model code: 21a; Deposit model name: Porphyry Cu-Mo; Mark3 model number: 2; Model code: 85; USGS model code: 22c; Deposit model name: Polymetallic veins; Mark3 model number: 46), hosted in amphibolite schist and gneissic granite of the Cerbat complex; the Diana Granite; Hornblende meta-diorite; Late Cretaceous quartz monzonite of the Itaca Peak Stock; and Late Cretaceous diorite of the Gross Peak Stock. The ore body is 660 meters wide, 1,020 meters long with a depth-to-top of 60 meters and covering an area of 1,270 HA. Orebody No. 1 is stockwork and lenticular. Ore body No. 2 is disseminated. The primary mode of origin was hydrothermal activity and the secondary mode was oxidation. Primary ore control was faulting and the secondary was fracturing. Wallrock alteration is intense (potassic). The ore bodies are crenulate, tabular, and crescent-shaped. Ore control was thoroughly fractured rock. Sulphide mineralization conforms to the topography of the Ithaca Peak. Ore concentration was enrichment controlled by Pre-oligocene to Plio-Pleistocene topography. Meteoric fluids were leached below the water table. Alteration includes silicification and sericitization in core, argillization, propylitization. The average depth of oxidation is 20 feet. Associated rocks include Late Cretaceous rhyolite dikes. Local rocks include Early Tertiary to Late Cretaceous granitic rocks.

Regional geologic features include Precambrian scistosity strikes N30ΒΊE. Veins and dikes strike NW to NNW. Local features include shattering after intrusion of rhyolite dikes, NW- & NE-trending fractures.

Workings include surface openings comprised of an open cast mine covering 900 HA. Current mining operations are primarily dump leaching activities, with recovery of copper from leach solutions using conventional solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) technology.

Reserve-resources data: Year: 2010: demonstrated reserves: 432,054,000 metric tons of ore @ 0.137 weight percent Cu; average of 0.043 weight percent Mo; and average of 2.64 grams Ag/metric ton. Inferred reserves: 198,251,617 metric tons of ore @ 0.099 weight percent Cu; average of 0.053 weight percent Mo; and average of 2.33 grams Ag/ metric ton.
