The Boomer mine, located in Section 21 of Township 11 South, Range 72 West (T11S R72W), lies within the Lake George beryllium area, a prolific beryllium-producing area of South Park, Park County, Colorado. It is well-supplied with electricity, water and telephone, and is readily accessible along an established road system. It is comprised of two patented mining claims: the Boomer and East Boomer lodes consisting of 20.560 acres. The Boomer mine was historically the second largest producing beryllium mine in the United States from 1948 until 1963 and was the largest beryllium ore producer in 1958. An additional 33-1/3% interest in the adjacent 9.395-acre J.S. Lode also was acquired. The Boomer mine produced a majority of the beryllium ore (beryl and bertrandite) mined in Colorado from 1948 until 1969 and over 50% of the total US production during that period according to the U.S. Bureau of Mines Minerals Yearbooks. Mining operations were discontinued in the early 1970s due to a legal dispute between the operating partners. USGS Scientists, Dr. Wallace R. Griffitts and Dr. Charles C. Hawley, who evaluated the Boomer mine in the 1960s (e.g., USGS Professional Papers 608-A & B and USGS Circular 597), were of the opinion that the Boomer mine retained more than 50% of its mineable reserves. Ore reserves will be confirmed by systematic drilling, geochemical sampling, and by geophysical and geological evaluations. Lake George Beryllium Area IBC has also completed the staking of 517 mineral claims in two claim blocks in the Lake George district of Colorado, a well known area of beryllium mineralization that also includes the Boomer mine. The staked area covers approximately 10,680 acres and includes such prominent former beryllium producing areas as Badger Flats, China Wall and Redskin Gulch and numerous former producing claims and workings. |
