Duke Mining LLC plans to utilize new technology to mine, process and explore for gold and other metals in the western United States. Duke expects to adopt technology that is particularly well-suited for mining within Duke’s Mineral Claim located in southeast Utah. The sand that blankets the area is of a hydrothermal origin and was formed when ore-bearing solutions migrated up the Lisbon Valley fault zone. The metals that Duke plans to extract are microscopic in size, sometimes referred to as “flour” gold because of the powder-like nature of its consistency.
