Bonanza Goldfields Corp. Acquires Columbus Mine; Releases Geological Report on Payroll Mine
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bonanza Goldfields Corp. (OTC PINK: BONZ) has acquired the Columbus Mine. Located north of the Company's Golden Gem Mine, the Columbus Mine is 10 miles north of Kingman, Arizona.
The Columbus Mining Claim was included in the same transaction under which the Company obtained its option on the Idaho and Broken Hills Mines. However, the Columbus acquisition took longer to complete as the deed had to be recorded with the Arizona State Office of the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in addition to the Mohave County Recorder.
The Columbus Mine is located on the Idaho – Columbus Vein and was historically worked together with the Idaho Mine. There are two mine shafts reported to be 175 to 200 feet deep as well as an adit (mine tunnel) and at least two inclined winzes. (A winze is an underground mine shaft.) Past sampling by the US Bureau of Mines of one of the Columbus Mine winzes encountered gold, silver, zinc, lead and copper. Reported grades for five samples were: gold - .065 ounces per ton (OPT) to 0.445 OPT; silver – 0.9 OPT to 4.7 OPT; zinc – 0.5% to 14.9%, lead – 0.1% to 0.2% and copper - 0.08% to 0.38%.
