United Mines - Past, Present & Future
United Mines Inc was formed on January 23, 2005 through
co-operation and an agreement made between Glynn G. and Glynn A.
Burkhardt and Glenn E. Martin to merge their interests and
knowledge in order to form an organization capable of financing
advanced mineral exploration projects and metals production.
During 2006, UMI acquired 69 additional unpatented mining claims in
order to secure and expand our project positions of that time. In
addition to the unpatented mining claims, we acquired three Arizona
State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits. These highly
mineralized land positions total an additional 1,920 acres.
UMI is aggressively moving to become a near term producer through
the development to production of several late stage silver (Ag) and
gold (Au) properties located in Arizona and California. In addition,
UMI will proceed with the exploration and development of several
early stage projects in S. Arizona.
United Mines strategic planning processes built from the beginning a
unique and stand alone company to meet American U.S. Industry 7
standards for identification, exploration and documentation of its
100% owned properties; and to protect our fragile environment with
emerging green mining policies and practices. United Mines plans
to embrace & develop cutting edge technologies as “America’s
Eco-Friendly miners”.
Phase 1
UMI aims to fast-track exploration projects to feasibility stage,
then to production through the use of our cost-effective technical
capabilities, as funding becomes available. Immediate plans include
the modification & upgrade of our existing high grade ore processing
mill. The high grade mill will have an initial capacity of 100+ tons
per day and the heap leach circuit will have a total initial
capacity of 50,000 tons. UMI’s adjoining heap leach facility will
require renovations in advance of leaching production. UMI has
identified and controls over 45,000 tons of highly mineralized Ag
material in our 100% owned side cast mine dumps, that will enable
UMI to begin metals production quickly. Near term success at adding
significant ore-grade material to the current mineralized inventory
is much anticipated as large exposures and outcroppings of highly
mineralized rock has been identified.
Phase 2
Phase 2 exploration will utilize shallow trenching and drilling to
define shallow surface exposed silver and gold mineralization that
may be extracted by open cut mining.
This will provide additional mill feed of both high grade and lower
grade ores for the twin processing plants.
Phase 3
A Phase 3 exploration effort will follow to test for deeper
concealed targets that have been indicated by geological
investigation.
As additional reserves are being delineated, the current leach
facility permit will be amended to increase heap leach pad capacity
to roughly 550,000 tons.
Position & Growth
Having a permitted heap leach facility capable of economically
treating low-grade ore places UMI in a unique start up position far
advanced from many other junior exploration and mining companies.
UMI is currently evaluating other mineral opportunities with a view
to diversifying our activities through the acquisition of additional
mineral exploration and mining projects. We are currently in active
negotiations with third parties regarding additional opportunities.
