Geology

The area in which the mine lies consists of glacial outwash from the Pleistocene, most likely pre-Bull Lake in age. This material is classified as the Fairplay Placer, which directly overlies the current mining site. Gold in these placers was resulting from all the centers of mineralization in the South Platte watershed above Fairplay. These placers are alluvial deposits derived from glacial debris and include both meltwater channel and outwash plain deposits formed during Bull Lake and Pinedale times and modern stream deposits formed by post-Fairplay reworking of outwash gravels. The gold basically came to be here through a series of weathering and transport and deposition by advancing of glaciers, meltwater distribution and alluvial processes. These processes were centered along the course of the South Platte River, which maintains a similar course today. It is concentrated in the lateral and terminal moraines, as well as the outwash plain below Fairplay”.

History

This claim has been family owned for decades until purchased in 2017. This was the first year that ground had been broken for mining purposes. 2020 was the first full scale year of mining operations the claim has ever seen. Each day is virgin ground being run.
