Project Discription
Nicholas V. Fleming/Tesoro del Alma first filed a Treasure Trove Claim on the present site on July 23, 1993. The site is located in the State of New Mexico, near the town of Truth or Consequences in the foothills of the Caballo Mountain Range. The site is under the management of the Bureau of Land Management, Las Cruces District Office. After the filing of the required permits, Nicholas V. Fleming/Tesoro del Alma contracted with the respected geophysical testing firm, Aonge Engineering, of Tucson, Arizona to conduct a NanoTEM Survey of the permitted site. The NanoTEM Survey provides an electronic "picture" of the composition of the subterranean geography on electrical conductivity at various pre-determined depths. The NanoTEM Survey is a widely used and respected method for surveying existing underground formation. It is a widely utilized tool employed primarily by the petroleum industry for locating lost drill bits and underground deposits metallic containing materials. The NanoTEM Survey was conducted by Zonge Engineering to depths of 10, 20, and 30 meters at the Tesoro de Alma treasure trove site.
The results according to the independent analysis confirms several extermely highly conductive areas in approximately the twenty to thirty meter range below the service. Upon receipt of the NanoTEM results, a formal map of the site was prepared to both delineate the exact target sites as well as substantiate the previous Treasure Trove Claim on File. An independent United States Mineral Surveyor was contracted and the target site located and deemed "TDA Lode 6". With the proper claims on file, the target site documented by a Survey Report and NanoTEM Survey, and operational plan to extract the treasure trove was formulated.
Under the direction of the Project Manager, Mr. Jeffrey Kramer, of Nevada-Manhattan Mining Co., the services of Harrison Western Mining and Construction of Lakewood, Colorado were called upon to provide a comprehensive method of TDA Lode 6 site. Mr. Robert Martin, Vice President of Harrison Western Mining and Construction developed a plan of excavation and reclamation of TDA Lode 6. Harrison Western Mining and Construction is fully licensed in the State of New Mexico to conduct mining and construction operations. Descriptive details of the procedure of extraction are available upon request.
In accordance with information received from the Bureau of Land Management, Las Cruces District Office, Nicholas V. Fleming/Tesoro del Alma has contracted with Frontier Archaeology of Worland, Wyoming to perform all aspects of monitoring the project from the standpoint of cultural resources. Frontier Archaeology has an outstanding reputation for independent review of a varity of projects on a wide regional basis.
Physical access to the proposed site is sufficient by utilizing existing graded roads. Weight limitations have been ferified and will not be exceeded. The time needed to execute the project will be no longer than 120 days,
Nicholas V. Fleming/Tesoro del Alma requested permission to commence the extraction and subsequent reclamation operation at TDA Lode 6 at the earliest possible time. |
