The Mineral Park mine is a large open-pit copper mine located in the Cerbat Mountains, 14 mi (23 km) northwest of Kingman, Arizona (in the southwestern United States). A 2013 report said that Mineral Park has an estimated reserves of 389 million t (383 million long tons; 429 million short tons) of ore grading 0.14% copper and 31 million oz (1.9 ...
Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formula Cu Al 6 (PO 4) 4 8 ·4H 2 O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gemstone for millennia due to its hue.
The Owl Creek Formation is a geologic formation ranging from Tennessee to Mississippi. It preserves marine fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period. Shark teeth and mosasaur remains are common. [3] Ornithomimid and ceratopsid remains are known from the formation. The ceratopsid tooth could represent a chasmosaurine. [4]
Vanadinite from the old Western Mine, in the southern Cerbat Mountains [1] The Cerbat Mountains (Walapai: Ha'emede) is a mountain range in Mohave County in northwest Arizona immediately north of Kingman. The Cerbat Mountains and the White Hills (Arizona) adjacent north, are the dividing ranges between the Detrital Valley west, and the Hualapai ...
Cartoon cross-section showing manto ore deposits (USGS) [1] A polymetallic replacement deposit, also known as carbonate replacement deposit or high-temperature carbonate-hosted Ag-Pb-Zn deposit, [2] is an orebody of metallic minerals formed by the replacement of sedimentary, usually carbonate rock, by metal-bearing solutions in the vicinity of igneous intrusions.

In many areas, economic deposits are identified within a halo of lower grade mineralisation, with a 1% or 2% Ni in hole value contoured. Geophysically, nickel sulfides are considered effective superconductors in a geologic context. They are explored for using electromagnetic exploration techniques which measure the current and magnetic fields ...
The site was rediscovered in 1809 by Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, and since then has seen several excavation teams, Richard Lepsius's excavation in 1845 being the first. Major C. K. McDonald's visits to the site, including residence at the site from 1854–1866 (and an effort to mine turquoise there) resulted in only surface finds (arrowheads and such) with no further excavation.
