property is engaged in an exploratory program on the rich upper portion
of the vein. He is digging near one of the most exciting areas, the Twin
Tunnels, two massive veins exposed on the hill, testing for over 1 ounce

miner's dream!" Using the most sensitive metal detector on the market,
he has identified a pocket of super ore, estimated to contain over 7
oz./ton of gold. (photo below, left) Some other rich portions have been

Could Cave Creek look like this in a thousand years? Director Adrian
Carr (Crocodile Dundee and Quigley Down Under) shot a sci fi movie
"Solus" on the Golden Star Ranch in 2019. Its a futuristic tale of a dystopian world. Check out
the title shot below.

Productions. They computer-generated a futuristic city where Cave Creek, Arizona use to
be. The Mayor of Cave Creek, when he saw it, jokingly said "don't blame
me, I didn't change the zoning!" If you know the area, you'll recognize
Black Mountain on the left. They picked the Golden Star for its mines,
tunnels, cliffs and abundant foliage for the producer.
See the Solus preview movie clip, from the spectacular opening scene,
showing what Arizona might look like in 1,000 years! (Still shot below)

the movie "The Getaway" with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. They
planned the crime around the pool. Click on the two photos on
