About the Kelly Mine Investment, LLC
Kelly Mine Investment, LLC has acquired a strategic package of land in the heart of the Historical Rand Mining District, CA. The land includes the historical Kelly and Atolia mining centers which were once the richest silver and tungsten mines respectively in the US with mining back to the 1890’s (the Project). Kelly Mine Investment, LLC is bringing this historical mining region back to life in the wake of exception commodity prices, global mineral and metal supply constraints, and under developed gold potential.
The Kelly Mine Investment team is ready to dig deeper, discover more, and develop a revitalized mining operation to support the demand for future metals and believes strongly that these projects will deliver tomorrows metals, today.
About The Project
The Project’s exploration history was at peak during historically low gold prices and the mines became dormant post WWII. Now, the unrealised true value of the gold in the region has been identified and Kelly Mine Investment, LLC is geared up to defining these resources. The gold, complimented by the silver and tungsten, is predominantly hosted in hard rock and placer style deposits throughout the Historical Rand Mining District.
The Project exploration phases are strategically split into three main elements which are the Kelly silver and gold expansion drilling, Atolia gold-tungsten placer drilling, and tailings and dump drilling/sampling. Several of these exploration drilling phases have been permitted with the Bureau of Land Management and San Bernardino County.
Management, Technical & Advisory Team
Kelly Mine Investment, LLC has engaged experts from all around the world to develop and deliver the project. The teams breadth of experience and skills compliment the abundance of mines and exploration targets within the project .
