According to the Kingman Daily Miner, the Goldroad Mine reopened in 2007 and poured its first bar of gold in September of 2010. Prior to the reopening, public tours of the mine were offered but none appear to be available now. Industrial operations, deadly chemicals, and safety issues probably mean that such tours are now out of the question.
