Plumas County California. Elevation is 3700 ft. in Sierra Nevada Mts.

Previously producing hydraulic mines and virgin ground extensions. Engineering mineral surveys done by Homestead Gold Exploration in mid 1960's. Average run rates in the mine are estimated at 40 - 60 yds/oz gold. Platinum in fine sands according to mining engineer John A. Edman. Two creeks totaling 3000 ft. on mine with one having Riparian water rights. Pay streaks are placer deposits from ancient river bed and are from 10-60 ft. below surface and run to bedrock at 115 ft with richest pay at last 20 ft. to bedrock. We have estimate for permit and targeted areas for initial production. This site has the potential to support 3 or more mining operations. We have much more info on request including pictures and a formal plan to operate.

Ancient river bed deposit about a mile in width. Complete geology report available on request.

These mines were operated from 1860-1889 and were forced to shut down by the Sawyer Decision which banned hydraulic mining in California. They were in full production when forced to close. The Gopher Hill Mine produced 1.1 million ounces of gold and Curtis Point production was also very good but no numbers were recorded. These mines sit in a historic pay streak along with a few other mines close by. The original Gopher Hill Pit was turned into a dump in 1974 and closed and sealed in 1994. The south mine and the Curtis Point Mine were only partially mined because of forced closure by California in 1889. The virgin bluffs are evidence of where the old timers left off. We have complete historic records and pictures available on request.
