• THE CROWN JEWEL OF AMERICAN PLACER MINING
• Encompassing approximately 2,450 contiguous unpatented acres of almost entirely virgin ground, High Bar represents one of the largest and most historically rich gold deposits currently available on the private market. This is a turn-key legacy asset where legend meets modern operational readiness.
• THE GOLD: UNRIVALED PURITY AND PROVENANCE
• High Bar is a surface-level placer gold deposit with zero overburden. The wealth begins at the surface. Historical assays and DOGAMI records reveal staggering concentrations: Documented areas producing 1 oz. of gold per 2.8 to 9.6 cubic yards. Modern Verification: 2014 testing successfully recovered approximately 1,000 ounces of gold from a 2.5-acre test site. Fine gold, coarse gold and specimen nuggets. Premium Purity: Refined composition testing at 87-88% pure gold and 12% silver. World-Class Specimens: Storied history of yielding magnificent nuggets up to14 ounces
• INFRASTRUCTURE: ABUNDANT WATER
• Historically, the single constraint to mining the High Bar plateau was water. That limitation has been removed. The drilling of two high-volume wells, in addition to water usage from the Burnt River has secured a robust supply.
• Technologically Advanced Plant: High recovery of fine and coarse gold.
• Two High-Volume Wells: Secured flow at approximately 240 GPM and 200 GPM.
• Approved Plan: 20-Year Plan of Operation spanning 217 acres.
• Accessibility: Seamless access to equipment and labor in Oregon's gold country.

The High Bar gold mine is "a Pleistocene bench gravel capping Tertiary sediments. The gravels include lava, quartz, schist, and greenstone rock types in sizes ranging to large boulders to two feet or greater in diameter...Whether a lava bed exposed on the side of the hill or superimposed Tertiary lake beds, constitute the true base of these gravels, and at what depth, is yet to be established. The greatest established depth is 26' with gravel still in the hole. From a surface standpoint this bench covers almost all the acreage comprising these holdings."

Many of the gold mining claims that were purchased and integrated into this sale are noted for their previous claims and production, including the famous Pine Creek area claims, United Mining and Metals, etc:

"Bruneau claims to have recovered course gold comparable to Johnny Wyant's Pine Creek Stuff all over the best portions of the bar, plus many fist sized hunks of quartz plastered full of gold like the 3 foot boulder McChord has that was picked up there 20-30 years ago. He claims to have gotten as high as 12.9 oz. per yard for some yards, which of course isn't altogether astonishing when one is dealing with slug gold, but what is the screwiest part of the whole deal is that Bruneau claims that his test yardage recovery average $3.60 per yard."*
