Silver Projects Have Strong Potential for High-Grade Mineralization
United Mines currently holds over 25 separate federal and state mining claim groups in the Cerro Colorado mountains in southern Arizona southwest of Tucson in areas known as Silver Hill, the Clark Mine and Mary G Mine Groups. The company’s silver holdings encompass three square miles of Arizona State Land Department exploration permits and some 500 acres of federal Bureau of Land Management mining claims. Historic mines on UMI’s property produced silver and gold from 1856 to 1981, with shaft workings extending to depths of 350 feet. Recent independent assays of samples taken from mineralized structures in the area range from 1.6 oz/t to over 480 oz/t silver and up to 1.5 oz/t gold. “Our silver projects offer excellent potential for producing both high-grade silver and significant tonnages of lower grade oxide ore,” says UMI COO Glynn Burkhardt.UMI has also staked three potentially significant copper deposits, that also include molybdenum, tungsten, platinum ...
... and palladium mineralization:

The Blue Copper Mine Group Project – located in southern Arizona and discovered in the early 1900s by prospectors searching for silver and gold. It was later mined for high grade copper and silica smelter flux with shipment assays commonly averaging 3.5% to 5% Cu. Geologic studies in the 1970s estimated a resource of 223-750 million pounds of copper.
The Green Copper Mine Group Project – discovered in the mid-1880s and located about eight miles south of the Blue Copper Mine Group. Initially mined for high grade silver occurring in narrow veins, the area’s copper potential was overlooked until in the late 1960s.
The Red Bed Group Project – located halfway between the Green Copper and Blue Copper Mine Groups and discovered in 1954. Mineralized structures identified at surface extend over 8,000 feet, are up to 3,500 feet in width, and reach to depths of between 1,500 and 1,800 feet on the Green Copper alone. UMI is planning to acquire additional properties in the area as funding becomes available.

Western Mining History and Mining Exploration and Management Expertise Blend in Unique Company
United Mines’ history began not in November, 2009 when the company began trading, but in 1539 when the then Spanish Viceroy of Mexico sent the first of several expeditions into Arizona in search of Cibola – the legendary “Seven Cities of Gold”.Glynn G. Burkhardt, United Mines’ founder, began his mining career at an early age when his father took him placer mining in the Sierra Madre mountains. He would similarly introduce his son, Glynn A. Burkhardt, to mining. Over the years, the Burkhardts identified, analyzed and acquired claims and leases encompassing over a dozen past-producing historic mines that make up United Mines current portfolio of mining properties Today, Glynn A. Burkhardt is Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of United Mines. The entire United Mines management team encompasses over 225 years of combined mining industry experience. The company began publicly trading in November 2009 at an impressive share price of more than $5.00 – unusual for a new start-up. The company’s stock closely held is believed to be one of the lowest amounts of outstanding stock in a U.S. precious metals mining company. “Our stock issuance views are ultra-conservative in growing shareholder value,” says Martin. “UMI started its 6% stock dividend program for 2010 on March 31 to give back to investors who support us from the start.” United Mines was co-founded in 2005 by President, CEO and Chairman Glenn E. Martin, who brings extensive management and marketing experience to the company. Martin previously was Executive Director of the World Trade Center, Tucson, a subsidiary of the former Twin Towers in New York City. The company’s CFO, Robert Leitzman, also serves as a Vice President and Director. He is an independent consultant specializing in all aspects of mine management and precious and ferrous metal processing. His expertise also includes mine start-up, planning, budgeting, and cost controls.“United Mines has the experience and talent to commence successful mining operations and to maximize shareholder value, year after year,” says Leitzman.
Investment Considerations
United Mines President and CEO Glenn E. Martin has set a bold and ambitious goal for his company: to become a world leader in the discovery, exploration, exploitation, development, production, refinement and sales of precious metals. The company is actively seeking additional acquisitions and is working toward obtaining a listing on the AMEX.Cash flow is expected to be generated within the next two years from processing stockpiled material. The company also plans an intensive program of sampling, drilling and geochemistry to prove up additional high-grade mineralization suitable for open pit mining.UMI plans to fast-track its projects through feasibility and into production. As additional reserves are identified, the company’s heap leach processing plant will be expanded to increase pad capacity to about 550,000 tons. The fully permitted plant recently passed its Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) inspection, clearing the way for start-up operations.“Having a permitted heap leach facility capable of economically treating low-grade ore places UMI in a unique start-up position far advanced from many other junior exploration stage mining companies,” declares UMI Chairman Glenn E. Martin. “Our goal is become an emerging mid-tier, production-stage silver producer within three years.” For More Information Please visit. unitedmines.com
