It contains several shallow exploration targets which can be evaluated by relatively inexpensive percussion drilling methods. The high silica content of the gold-silver mineralization means that the copper smelters in Arizona may purchase the production for smelter flux provided it meets their specifications. In my opinion the Rio del Monte is a gold-silver deposit which merits further exploration. Source: Ted H.
