Good 4WD access to the entire site. Located 12 miles from Avon, Montana

The claim is in the central region of the Carpenter Bar with the northern-most being the Ophir Mine and the southern-most being the Ophir Mine Placer. The claim is a full 20 acres running north-south along Carpenter Creek and the associated workings. The value in the mine is its location, Carpenter Bar noted for having gravel beds up to 40 feet in depth. Native gold is the only product of the bars and the district is home to the largest gold nugget found in Montana. A 16 lb monster that was pulled out in the early 1930s. There are multiple small cuts into the gravel beds that have been allowed to wash with seasonal run off. Carpenter Creek runs year round and provides adequate volume for small mining operations. A small track hoe is recommended to open up sections of the gravel bed and process with a small trommel and or shaker. There is ample room for the operation to expand using a full placer wash station to crush, trommel and sluice. Access to the property is on good dirt roads that could be traversed with a high clearance 2WD vehicle. The Cabin and workshop at the mine camp could be re-purposed and utilized with a properly filed Notice of Operation.
