Rare Patented Gold Mine In Twentynine Palms

Twentynine Palms, CA, USA
Listed 18 days ago

Rare opportunity to acquire 123 acres of patented gold and silver mining property in San Bernardino County, California, offered at $8,750,000 with land and mineral rights included. Located in the historic Old Dale Mining District approximately 20 miles southeast of Twentynine Palms, the property combines significant historic mining infrastructure with unobstructed views towards Joshua Tree National Park. Historically operated as the Supply and Nightingale Mines from the 1890s until 1942, the property includes existing mine shafts with documented workings extending to 1,250 feet, surface adits, historic mine structures and foundations, access roads and multiple patented lode claims. The Supply-Nightingale Vein is documented as traceable for more than 6,000 feet along strike, with at least nine parallel mineral veins identified. Historical geological data reports gold grades of 0.44–0.68 ounces per ton. Independent analysis based on historical geological information and gold pricing suggests potential in-ground gross mineral value ranging from hundreds of millions to more than $1 billion. These figures are based on unverified historical data, are not confirmed recoverable reserves and require independent geological assessment and buyer due diligence. Beyond potential gold and silver mining operations, the 123-acre property offers potential for geothermal energy, hospitality or glamping, tiny-home or eco-village development and event use, subject to San Bernardino County approvals. Temperatures exceeding 105°F have been recorded at depth, supporting the identified geothermal potential. The property currently produces no income and is being sold as land and mineral rights. A comprehensive geological report package, including drilling results, vein mapping, longitudinal sections and surface maps, is available to qualified buyers under NDA. Flexible seller financing is available.
