Mining Joint Venture - $499k for 25%, $800k for 40%, or $1M for 50% ownership in 7 Permitted and Licensed State Mining Claims, consisting of 520 virgin acres (one mile long; ½ mi wide) - including all mining equipment. That should not be a lot of money for the individual(s) I want to attract. There will be NO additional business expenditure expected or required after an investor's initial investment. For the 1st year $100k is more than enough to bring the mine online and get everything staged to break ground on time in 2024. We should also have additional funds ($99k) set aside as a nest egg to cover any seen or unforeseen expenditures; and who knows, we may decide to buy another excavator and/or loader our 1st summer. In all reality, I expect us to hit pay (after vegetation/overburden removal, settling pond and plant set-up), about 1/2 way through 2024 (mid-August) and start producing $ from that point on. However, we want to be conservative and ensure we have enough of a war chest in the hopper to cover expenses for the 1st year. We will form a new Alaskan Corp. with both principles listed as owners: Dr. D - Chairman & CEO You - President My 25% - 50% loss is your 100% gain and the deal of a lifetime... Note: The joint venture ownership percentage of the 7 claims do not include my 30 acres of private property near the mine; but WILL INCLUDE an equivalent percentage in ALL the equipment and machinery listed below, as well as 365-day access to the mining campground (camping/hunting/snow machining) and the landing strip/helipad. A couple of people have called and asked what it would cost to buy everything - so here's the answer to the "I really don't want to sell anything price": If you want to buy EVERYTHING: Claims, Permits, Licenses and all equipment listed below including the upper 20 of the 30 acres of Prime Patented Real Estate with landing strip (once owned by Princess Cruises on the north summit of Cache Creek) - $6.85M obo. Add a really cute 850 sq/ft Cabin/Home w/loft on one acre in rural Wasilla for $165k.

The Blue Sky and Thunder Valley claims are in Thunder Valley, which is located in the famed Dutch Hills of the Southwest (SW) Foothills of Denali National Park. Thunder Valley is one of 7 northern mountain valley sources that feed the historic gold mining area of Cache Creek near Petersville, Alaska.

Approx. 18mi from Petersville, 38mi from Trapper Creek, 107mi from Wasilla, 151mi from Anchorage.

Access uses existing State and Park Service roads, RST's and trails. There is also a newly constructed 1200' landing strip and helipad on my private property (1 mile from the claims) and a helipad at the mine site.

The 7 State Claims (520 acres) consist of beautiful virgin property with 2 streams/creeks (Thunder & Side Branch of Rambler) and has all Permits and Licenses in place to start Placer and Suction Dredge mining 2024-2027. Yearly Rents & Affidavits of Mining Labor (2023-24) - Paid, Submitted and Registered. The mining camp, landing strip and helipad are one (1) mile south as the crow/heli flies from the claims and on 30 acres of my private patented land. I have over 11 years and over $1.5M invested in the claims, mining camp and mining equipment combined. The camp property is also a great bug-out and ultimate private friends & family party location with birds-eye views overlooking famous Cache Creek. A magnificent western horizon stretches out over the valley 50+ miles. The northern slopes of the Peters Hills are staring you in the face from across the Cache Creek Valley. The Dutch Hills are behind you. There literally aren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe the 360-degree views. Heaven comes close.

Historic Proven Ground for Placer and Suction Dredge Mining. Verified Gold, Silver, Platinum, and other Rare Earth Minerals (REM's) are on the claims. Gold purity is approx. 87%Au & 13%Ag.

An award winning USGS Geological Survey (Alaska GeoSurvey News Article Vol.4, No. 1, March 2000) of this very mineral rich area tells the whole story and is all you need to know about the potential of Thunder Valley and the surrounding area. In the Government Surveyors own words:
https://dggs.alaska.gov/webpubs/dggs/nl/text/nl2000_001.pdf

There's definitely Gold in them thar hills!

Suction dredging in our streams/creeks has averaged .25 - .50 ounces of Gold per cubic yard of material - to say these are "significant findings" is an understatement.

Thunder Valley is a HUGE narrow valley and acts like A Giant Sluice Box. We expect to equal that return (after clearing vegetation and overburden) as we switch over into heavy equipment placer mining (2024) of the benches and old creek beds at the mouth of and up into Thunder Valley. The gold on these claims is a lot more "nuggety" than flour, which makes it easier to catch.

Even if we only average 25yds/hr for 8hrs/day, that equals 200yds/day and with a return of just 1/8 ounce per yard (50% of the low average above), that equals 25 ounces a day. Then multiply 25oz x $2,000/oz = $50,000/day. Then multiply that by just a 45 day (6 week) work period and it's $2,250,000 for the season (2024).

In 2025 I expect us to be running a minimum of 12 weeks total (maybe more); therefore if Au is still $2,000oz that would translate to $4,500,000 for the season. Not bad... With an initial investment of 25% or 40% ownership, you could break even after the 1st year and from there on out, everything is gravy/profit. We should also plan at the end of every season to put $100-150k gold aside in a general fund for the following year expenses.

Gold buyers in the area are paying Spot for finer gold that needs to be refined and Spot + 10% for the nuggets (1.38oz nug in center of plate below).

I'm a research physician (MD), miner and entrepreneur. I did not plan to sell ANY part of this project and simply was going to continue funding it myself; until I had to shell out over $1M to buy back my Biotech company's Intellectual Property (IP) six months ago, which will not start producing income for up to a year. Now I don't have the $100k set aside to start finally running pay dirt (everything is still on schedule for 2024), unless I sell our 2nd house, which the wife would not appreciate (lol) - since I already sold the 1st to buy back seven (7) Medical Patents (my lifetime of work) to license out.

It's an interesting situation to find oneself in, but there you have it! If I don't get a partner this year, I should by this time next year be able to self-fund again.

This has been a 2-3 man operation since the start. That's been it. I always wanted to keep it small and private. I've done all the heavy lifting and it doesn't get any easier to start mining in "The Last Frontier" than this. It's a very steep learning curve out here - I wish someone had given me an opportunity like this 11 years ago.

In all reality, I should be asking twice what I am for ownership in this turn-key operation; simply because of the huge potential upside in a relatively short amount of time.

So, I'm done with "recreational" suction dredge mining - it's time to bring in the heavy equipment and "Get That Gold!" However, although we will be dramatically increasing production, I want to stay a small mining operation (200-300 cubic yards/day) - while continuing to be a good steward of the land. But hey, if someone wants to REALLY upgrade and try and run 1000 to 1500 yds+/day - I'm game.

If you are seriously considering becoming an investor, we need to start planning for the upcoming 2024 season as soon as possible. I can visit you, or you can visit me in Arizona (our winter home) to meet in person, shake hands and discuss what's next.

I was planning to start taking some of the heavier equipment (Excavator, Front-End Loader, 30 yd/hr Trommel) to the mine site this winter (1.25mi overland from base camp), while the ground is frozen, as it will be easier to transport bigger equipment to the claims rather than using another longer route in the summer (6mi of State and Park Service roads, RST's and trails).

Our actual mining season is May 1 through Oct. 15 – So you get your winters off unless you want to stay and Snow Mobile/Machine on what is arguably the best Snow Machining landscape in the world, the famous Dutch Hills.

I’ve been piecing everything together for 11 years and I'm finally ready to rock ‘n roll. Are you?

Starlink was put up over Alaska this past year; before that we only had a Satellite phone (3 years) for communication - before that, smoke signals. Now we can access the Internet in real time and the quality of calls is amazing.

We try to eat and drink like Kings (but we're still in pretty good shape), when we are not working and basically have all the comforts of home. We always have a campfire every night unless it’s raining.

Our mining camp overlooks spectacular views of the valley where Cache Creek runs, with the Peters Hills in the foreground. The Peters Hills (small mountains) opposite our mine are a series of 7 blown and eroding volcano's that are barely starting to generate cones again. It's beautiful. We've glassed Grizzly's sparring across the canyon.

I suggest you bring your own small to mid-size Travel Trailer to the mining camp for a personal and private home base. As a partner in the mining operations, there is never a charge and you will have access to the camp generator, outdoor grill and restroom, if you so desire.

Transportation to and from the mine from Anchorage Airport (unless you already live in Alaska), including food and drink at the mining camp will be provided as part of your investment for the first 2 years.

Because we have a wide variety of tastes, we generally prepare our own meals and come together in the center of camp to eat. A camp cook would be a nice addition. An investor can always bring a wife or girlfriend if she wants to hang out and help. If you or they can drive an excavator or front-end loader, even better! If not, and you want to learn, we'll teach you. My wife usually comes up a couple times during the summer from Arizona.

This project is at the OPERATIONAL Gold mine starting line - key word being "operational".

An adventurous spirit and a little money are all that's needed to play here and be successful. The adventures, challenges and fun are priceless.

You are welcome to actively participate in mining activities or just hang out and enjoy the breathtaking views and surroundings of wild Alaska.

There is also an opportunity to purchase from me a 10-acre section (10 out of 30 acres) of patented/private land adjacent to my airstrip property up on the ridge above Cache Creek to build the cabin/home of your dreams. That's my plan when the mine starts producing.

Princess Cruises bought the property where the mining camp and airstrip are now located 35 years ago, it's that beautiful. Their plan was to build the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge for multi-purpose recreational use during the summer as well as the winter. Instead, they settled on their current property (much easier to build on and access, but not nearly as beautiful), next to the highway leading to Fairbanks and one mile from the SE entrance of Denali National Park. Blue Sky-Thunder Hills is near the SW entrance in the Dutch Hills of Denali National Park.
