Anyone want to buy a gold mine?
The Gold Paradise Peak Mine is for sale.
The owners have given up in the face of community pressure to stop mining.
The mine will be shut down. This is a victory for the community.
The agent who has listed it called me earlier this morning to tell me that it was being listed.
His concern is that another buyer would want to create a negative impact on the community.
A developer that would subdivide it and create another bunch of lots with cabins would still increase traffic and noise.
He’d like to find someone, a benefactor, to create a wild land park, an environmental oasis, or maybe a state park.
Someone who would keep it in it’s natural state for everyone to enjoy is who he’s looking for.
Do you have any ideas? Do you know a guy, who knows a guy, who could buy it, and keep a natural preserve?

Description
Supplements: an educational institution research site, a religious summer camp, a corporate retreat, a nature preserve or any other number of public sector uses. The property can be held privately as a ranch, a family retreat, or just land banked for a future use. The property is zoned RCU-2A and can be developed into a single-family residential subdivision with lots of at least two acres in size. The sale includes the mining claims which will be conveyed with the land. Currently this location is popular with hikers and mountain bikers and a citizens group or non-profit could opt to purchase and preserve this gorgeous property!
Try the Yavapai Tribe, The Nature Conservancy, the National Park Service., AZ Game & Fish, CAP, SRP, State Lands.
Thank you, Conrad for all the work you have done on this. It is appreciated.
Yavapai County should buy it.
Why doesn’t the city or state buy it?
Great work on this mine problem. Mike Fann should buy it back and create a wild land park and never sell our land and minerals to an adversarial country again.
[…] found the owners of the mine are now trying to sell part of the mine for about four times the buying price, Thalasitis […]
Whoever buys it will likely assume significant closure and reclamation costs.
Quit selling our land to foreign countries…just sayin.
This is a EPA superfund site that will cost millions of tax dollars to clean up a Chinese scam artist’s scam. The best way to fix this is to keep mining all of the gold down to the historic senator mine then fill all the workings so they can’t fill with water again and leak. All the profits from mining can be used to remediate all the land. Secondly the historic tailings are filled with so much cadmium and arsenic but also contains gold and silver. The historic tailings could be remediated of toxins while the captured gold and silver is sold to pay for the cleanup. Contact me if interested, I am a mining geologist.
