"...The Copperstone Mine is Arizona’s largest gold producer with annual production at approximately 60,000 ounces and is now known to be a detachment-fault related deposit. Although these mountains, in Arizona’s lower Colorado River country, were best known for copper deposits, the area still produces gold nuggets today. In this area gold is found in a bed of loose quartz rubble, these were the same gold-bearing gravels carried out by early miners- it is this same quartz rubble that present day metal detectors find gold in. Workings in the area include several large scale open pit and shaft operations and many smaller mines and prospects worked since the 1860’s to recent times. Most mining had ceased by 1942, but one unidentified mine produced until the 1970’s. Production numbers for the area have gone unreported or are sketchy for various reasons, mainly because it was and is not required...."
