• Looking for a company to buy our family-owned Iron Ore Reserve, in the mining friendly state of Nevada.

​​

• A 2025 appraisal put the value of the Rosetta Iron Mine at upwards of $4.2 billion US dollars. (The appraisal uses an assumed iron ore price of $105 per ton and a historical estimate of 40 million tons of 49–65% grade iron ore. Historical reports use differing grade terminology, including Fe and Fe₂O₃, which prospective buyers should have their technical experts independently evaluate. Rosetta Iron Mine is considered a significant iron deposit. Additionally, as an iron-rich skarn, as opposed to a typical banded-iron formation, it may have the potential to contain other metals. If additional economically recoverable base metals, critical minerals, or precious metals were identified, they could significantly increase the value of the property.)

​

• Offered for sale at $160 million USD…a fraction of the $4.2 BILLION dollar valuation stated in the 2025 appraisal.  Additionally, there is significant potential upside from additional mineral resources that has not yet been explored or assessed.

​​​​​​

• During World War II, the U.S. Bureau of Mines explored the Dayton iron deposit as part of a strategic minerals project.  In its 1963 annual report, Utah Construction Company described the deposit as one of the larger proven iron ore reserves in the western United States.

​​

• Extensive exploration was done by the Bureau of Mines in 1942 and Utah Construction and US Steel (BHP) in 1961, of which we have a great deal of the information, including core sample reports. Over $2.5 million was spent for exploring deposits. We are told that it is the largest privately-owned iron deposit West of the Mississippi.

​

• Historical geological reports, drawing on extensive U.S. Government and industry exploration, classify approximately 27,500,000 tons as “proven” and more than 14,000,000 tons as “indicated” or “possible.” The reports also suggest that additional ore may extend beyond the historically estimated quantities.

​

• Historical reports describe approximately 1.5 million tons of higher-grade ore, much of it near the surface, that could be mined, crushed, sized and shipped without further beneficiation, along with approximately 40.5 million tons of ore that would require beneficiation. See the original geological reports for the historical grade estimates and classifications. 

​

• ​Numerous statements in all the documents suggested a much larger ore deposit indicated than they could confirm in the 1940's - 1960's. Statements have indicated the possibility of other minerals that they did not test for at the time.

​

• ​Excerpt from a U.S. Geological Survey Report regarding the surface ore: Most of the surface ore is of high grade...the deposits are of sufficient size to be commercially important...with a depth of 50 feet the deposit on the hill at the south end of the area would probably yield approximately 1,500,000 tons of ore. The deposits are on low ground and can easily be approached.

​

• Spitting distance from Reno, Lake Tahoe, Carson City, the Tesla Plant and the Panasonic Manufacturing Plant.

​

• Located in Dayton, Nevada, over the mountain from the infamous historic mining town of Virginia City (a Boomtown, famous for the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Load, the first major Silver Deposit Discovery in the United States).​
