The Artillery Mountains are a mountain range in Mohave County in western Arizona
. High point of the range is Artillery Peak, 2,917 feet (889 meters) above sea level. Artillery Peak is at coordinates N 34.36946 W 113.58160 .
Mineral resources of the Artillery Mountains include manganese
, uranium
and gold
. Rocher Deboule Minerals drilled their Artillery Mountains Manganese property in 2008, and discovered a resource of 2,553,000 tonnes of 3.82% Mn.
High Desert Gold acquired the Artillery Peak gold project in western Arizona in 2008. The company believes the site has the potential to "develop into a bulk mineable target".
At Uranium Energy's Artillery Peak uranium project, the firm hopes to discover a uranium deposit similar to the nearby Anderson Mine, which has a published reserve of 27 million pounds of uranium, in addition to a uranium resource of 70 million pounds, and another 80 million pounds of vanadium
