This ±109-acre tract in Hill County, Texas, presents a significant opportunity for aggregate mining operations. Backed by a recent geotechnical investigation, the property offers substantial volumes of commercially viable materials including:
Lean Clay: Approx. 45.9 million cubic yards (~74.4 million tons)
Clayey Sand: Approx. 9.8 million cubic yards (~15.8 million tons)
Sand: Approx. 5.4 million cubic yards (~8.8 million tons)
Gravel: Approx. 4.9 million cubic yards (~8.0 million tons)
Estimated In-Place Value: Over $114 million
Estimated Load-Ready Value: Over $830 million
The subsurface materials are ideal for a variety of construction uses including:
Select fill for residential and commercial pads
Cushion sand and Portland cement concrete production
Drainage media and asphalt mixes
Gravel particles range from 3 inches to 3/16", making them well-suited for concrete, asphalt, and road base production. Several strata also meet TxDOT standards for select fill and engineered soils.
The report identifies eight distinct excavation zones across the property, with depth to shale bedrock averaging 30 feet. Some areas are already under excavation, providing immediate access to the aggregate.
Location:
Situated along SH 174, this site is easily accessible to regional markets and infrastructure projects in Central and North Texas. Elevation ranges from 550 to 605 feet with favorable topography for mining operations.
This is an opportunity for an aggregate company, construction firm, or investor looking to capitalize on the growing demand for materials across Texas infrastructure and development sectors.
