Marlin Gold owns the Commonwealth Silver and Gold District, which hosts a development project called the “Commonwealth Project” located in the Pearce mining district in South-eastern Arizona.

Production at the Commonwealth Mine began as far back as 1985, with commercial scale mining ending in 1920’s before small scale mining continued through 1942. It is said that during this time, the Commonwealth Mine produced around 12 million ounces of silver and 138,000 ounces of gold.

Such a number makes it Arizona’s second largest history primary silver producer.

Marlin Gold acquired the project in May 2015.
