McIntyre & Bauman Group heritage:

General John D. McIntyre was the first mining engineer at the Great Homestead Gold Mine in the South Dakota Black Hills more than a century ago. He later owned and operated other gold mines in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and Alaska, as well as a steel company.

Montana Senator William A. Clark was the inspiration for the Company’s Arizona / Montana strategy (although we sold our last Montana asset in 2013). Senator Clark was known as Butte, Montana’s first “Copper King.” His United Verde Copper Mine in Jerome, Arizona was the richest individually owned mine in the world at that time.
