Unlocking a Legendary
Arizona Mining District

Kilroy Metal is deploying a modern, data-driven strategy to de-risk exploration in the historic Bradshaw Mountains. By correcting the mistakes of the past, we are systematically unlocking the true potential of the legendary Blue Bell and DeSoto mines.

The Brownfield Advantage

Smarter Exploration Starts Where Others Left Off

The Proterozoic Greenstone Belts of Yavapai County are a geological terrane of global significance, home to one of the highest-grade VMS systems ever discovered in the United States.

Kilroy Metal focuses on "brownfield" exploration—targeting historically productive mines. This approach significantly reduces risk by leveraging known mineralization, existing infrastructure, and a wealth of historical data as our foundation. We aren't just exploring; we are re-interpreting and resolving a story that is decades in the making.

Existing access and regional mining knowledge

The Brownfield Advantage

By focusing on historically productive areas, we maximize the probability of discovery while minimizing exploration risk and timeline. Our land package was built on 45 years of expert geological analysis—not speculation.

Our Method

Data-Driven Targeting and Precision Science

Our land package wasn't acquired by chance. We identified our initial targets based on 45 years of data collected and analyzed by a VMS expert. Today, we amplify that human expertise with a proprietary weighting and ranking algorithm to identify and prioritize additional targets with the highest potential.

"This fusion of historical knowledge and modern analytical power allows us to focus our efforts with unparalleled precision, dramatically accelerating the exploration process."

Phase 1 Drill Program

Drilling with Purpose: A Plan to Unlock True Value

Previous exploration at sites like Blue Bell provided intriguing clues but left the geological puzzle incomplete. Historical reports and drilling often stopped short of fully defining the resource, noting mineralization but failing to model it correctly, which could lead to the dilution of high-grade material.

Our Phase 1 drill program is meticulously designed to correct these past oversights. We will systematically test for extensions of known high-grade zones and confirm the presence of a shallow, enriched chalcocite blanket—a feature identified in historical data but never fully pursued.

This isn't just more drilling; it's a strategic campaign to gather modern, high-quality data that will finally unlock the full geological and economic potential of these assets.

  • 2
    Confirm presence and extent of shallow enriched chalcocite blanket identified in historical data
  • 3
    Apply modern drilling techniques and digital data collection for accurate geological modelling
  • 4
    Advance toward NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate framework
Foundational Assets

A Portfolio of High-Grade Polymetallic Targets

Our work is anchored by two of Arizona's most compelling past-producing polymetallic mines.

The Blue Bell Mine

Bradshaw Mountains, Yavapai County, Arizona
Blue Bell Mine

Key Highlights

A historically significant producer with impressive average copper grades. Recent drilling has continued to encounter high-grade intercepts near the surface, demonstrating the vast potential that remains.

The DeSoto Mine

Bradshaw Mountains, Yavapai County, Arizona
DeSoto Mine

Key Highlights

Known for its exceptionally high historic copper grades. Historic drilling identified two distinct ore bodies, and our modern approach is aimed at fully defining these extensive mineralized zones.
