The Yuma King property is located in the Mojave Block of the Great Basin. The property consists of 181 unpatented lode mining claims that cover an area of approximately 3,620 acres (1465 hectares) located in the Granite Wash Mountains, La Paz County, Arizona.

The Yuma King property is located in the Ellsworth mining district, a district with approximately 70 named mines and prospects, including placer gold prospects. A variety of mineral deposits containing copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc and other metals occur throughout the region and there was production from many mines and prospects.

Big Bar has applied the Magma-metal Series approach to its Yuma King Property in west-central Arizona. At Yuma King a sequence of intrusions with magma-metal series petrochemistry similar to the Sacramento intrusive complex at Bisbee, Arizona is associated with copper and gold mineralization. Extensive sampling of the metallization and the intrusions has allowed a magma-metal series model assignment to the Bisbee type porphyry copper-gold-silver skarn replacement MQA45 model with definite certainty. As a Bisbee model the possibility exists for high-grade giant sized copper accumulations by analogy with the grade tonnage data for the Bisbee type model.

At Yuma King, the Bisbee type copper mineralization is associated with the footwall environment of a Stage 3 monzonite porphyry which crops out extensively throughout the property. In the vicinity of the Yuma copper mine historical working, a small portion of the skarn replacement orebody in the footwall environment of the monzonite porphyry has been developed and produced 8,728 short tons of 2.64% copper. The exposures in the Yuma Copper mine historical working indicated considerable existing copper resource. Subsequently, Big Bar retained R.H. Russell and Associates to calculate an indicated 43-101 compliant resource of a greater than 500,000 tons of combined oxide and sulfide copper resource at a 3% copper grade.

Initial detailed geologic mapping to the north and east of the Yuma Mine shows that the monzonite porphyry unit is more widespread than previously thought. Thus, emerging new geologic information indicates that the footwall environment for copper replacement bodies is more extensive than existing maps have shown. To obtain additional information regarding the size and scale of copper metallization bodies associated with magnetite replacement bodies, Big Bar commissioned PRJ to conduct an ultralight born high-resolution aeromagnetic survey of the Yuma King area. This survey produced a spectacular result that indicated numerous additional magnetite bearing copper replacements might be present in the area. The magnetic data indicated the size of the magnetite-bearing Yuma King copper replacement body was much larger than previously thought, and extends significantly to the north and east.

A Phase 1 drilling program was instituted in April 2006 to test the down-dip and along-strike extension of the copper gold replacement deposits exposed in the Yuma Mine that are associated with what is now termed “the Yuma King magnetic feature”. The Yuma King magnetic feature covers an area of at least 2 square kilometers.
