Historical Context
The Guanjuato Amalgamated Gold Mines Co. was incorporated on June 12, 1905, in New Jersey. Properties are located in La Luz district, Guanajuato, Mexico, and consisted of the Jesús Maria, Villarino, Sangre de Cristo, Providencia, Remedios and Dolores mines.
The mines were partially worked to a depth of 850 feet by two shafts about 2,000 feet apart, connected by drifts with cars and tracks. The company installed modern machinery, including a 100-stamp mill with a daily capacity of 300 to 400 tons, electric motors, pumps, compressors, etc. This equipment included 52 steel cyanide tanks. A large dam, with impounding capacity of 70,000,000 gallons, was built and the principal shafts were retimbered and extended.
Despite the promise of the location, the company was not successful and was purchased by the Oro Grande Mines Company in 1910.
