Overview

A1 Resources Inc. is a privately held junior exploration company focused on it’s past producing copper-gold-manganese projects in the Big Horn Mountains of the Historic Aguila Arizona Mining District. The Big Horn Mountains are located 90km due south of the Bagdad Copper Mine, the third largest copper producing mine in the United States. Bagdad is owned by Freeport-McMoran and has produced an estimated 98,000 tonnes (216M lbs.) of copper in 2020 and will operate until 2101. Aguila is largely known as a manganese and copper mining area that is located at the North end of the Bighorn Mountains, about 14 miles South of Aguila at an altitude of 2,300 feet. At one time it was actually the second greatest producer of manganese in all of Arizona. In 1920, the USGS did a major study on the area and reported that in addition to manganese, Aguila was also a major producer of Copper. They noted that the local ores, which are composed of “Pre-Cambrian granite, gneiss and schist overlain by Tertiary lava flows”, contained considerable amounts of gold as well as large concentrations of lead and silver.
