While over $380,000 in gold has been recovered from the Delano to date, the vast majority of the wealth lies in the silver, lead and zinc found in the various ore types. According to the reports of exploration done in the 1970’s the average value per ton of ore still at the surface is $457 at 80% recovery. Grab samples at the surface have been observed to contain as much as 200 ounces of silver per ton, valued at over $4500 at current silver market prices.
