Gold-Copper Project with Installed Processing Equipment
On-site crushing, grinding, and gravity concentration demonstrate operational readiness and scalable potential.
Overview
Swallow Mine is not a greenfield concept: a functioning small-scale circuit is installed on site. The current setup enables material reduction, grinding, and gravity concentration for test work and demonstration, with clear pathways for modular expansion.
Current Processing Circuit
- Primary Crusher – On-site rock reduction for feed preparation.
- Rotating Ball Mill – Fine grinding for mineral liberation.
- Conveyor Circuit – Material movement between stages for continuous flow.
- Shaker Table (Gravity Concentrator) – Demonstrates recovery of free-milling gold into concentrates.
Operational Support
- On-Site Water – Available for processing and dust control.
- Access – All-season road access suitable for equipment transport.
- Staging Area – Space for modular additions or pilot plant scale-up.
Access & Logistics
The site is accessible year-round via established roads, with ample flat ground for staging, laydown, and additional modular equipment. Terrain and climate support efficient deployment of exploration and pilot-scale operations.
1.65 miles of roads secured with a ROW (right-of-way) from the BLM. The roads from Wickenburg to the entrance gates of the mine are maintained and graded by Yavapai County.
Scalability & Expansion Potential
The existing circuit serves as a foundation for scaling to a pilot plant. Modular additions—such as expanded milling capacity, flotation cells, or enhanced gravity circuits—can be integrated to increase throughput and recovery efficiency as the project advances.
Review Metallurgical Recovery Performance
Independent flotation testing achieved 90–95% gold recovery into rich concentrates.
