Yavapai County's Prescott Mining District was Arizona's oldest and richest gold producer, with major lodes like the Hassayampa District yielding millions of ounces of hard-rock gold during the 1870s–1960s. The Agua Fria River system contains both historic and recent placer deposits; modern geology has identified porphyry copper-gold systems at depth. Year-round climate allows continuous prospecting; the Verde and Hassayampa drainages remain primary focus areas. The BLM Hassayampa Field Office administers federal claims.
