This claim is downstream from the richest Hard Rock Gold Mine in Alaskan history - the Independence Mine. This is some of the last untouched virgin ground; let alone available, in this famous gold mining area in Alaska. Another valuable consideration which makes it unique is that it is close to civilization. It is a little tough to get to; but that's why the gold is still there. I bought these claims back in 2014 as a back-up mining investment if the 1st mine I purchased didn't pan out - but it looks like that mine will make it.
This is a great location because it's close to Wasilla and will be great producer. My other mine is more remote and 110 miles away, and I now live out there during mining season. These claims are only going to get more valuable as time goes on with world events; and Gold (24K) has moved up past $4,750.00+ per ounce. It’s doubled in two years.
People literally pay to take tours of this area as it is incredibly beautiful, has fantastic hunting (Moose & Bear if you're into that); and makes for memorable family outings, great adventure and priceless good times. Unbelievably there is a Hotel Wilderness Lodge approx. 6 miles from the mine that offers year around recreational opportunities and accommodations.
Placer Mining: I estimate this ground will produce an average of 1 troy ounce per 60 cubic yards of dirt through a trommel that is fed by an excavator or skid steer - after removal of vegetation and overburden - and maybe more if you're dredging and hit a honeypot. The more equipment, the more you make.
Options: Go big with your crew, go big with my crew, or just suction dredge with your family and friends on your claims in the stream along the edge and around the rocks/boulders, while living the Alaska dream in what seems like the middle of nowhere - but you can still use your cell phone up on a ridge. I can’t do that at my other mine property.
In today's market this investment for the future could pay for itself in one season. GOT GOLD?
