A former Au-Pb-Ag-V-Cu-Mo occurrence/mine located in the NE¼NE¼ sec. 26, T20N, R14W, G&SRM, 3 miles W pf Wikieup-Kingman highway up Kaaba Wash and 5 miles WSW of Dean Peak, on land of unspecified mixed ownership. Past operators included California Vanadium and the Kaaba Mining & Milling Company. Owned by J. H. Bathrick, Arizona (1966). Operated 1926 to 1936. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 500 meters.
Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in sediments of the Huala Pai Mountains. The ore body has a depth-to-bottom of 91.44 meters (300 feet). The age of the mineralization is unknown. Local rocks include Early Pleistocene to latest Pliocene surficial deposits.
Workings include underground openings with an overall depth of 487.68 meters and comprised of 2 shafts at 800 feet and 1,600 feet. Kaaba Mining and Milling Company operated a pilot mill for the ore that contained vanadate of lead, rich in gold. Later, a 125 ton flotation plant was used.
Production statistics: Year: 1936 (period = 1935-1936): ore (accurate: ^0.07% Pb, 0.003% Cu, 0.082 ounce (228 grams ??)/ton Ag, 0.109 ounce (3 grams ??)/ton Au (Ag & Au values in metric units may be reversed). The mine had limited production of V from 1916 to 1918. By 1942, no V was left other than in small pillars.
