Parker Gold Mineral Property
40 acre gold claim For Sale
Summary
The Parker Mineral Property is located on the east flank of the Elkhorn Mountain range in the famous Radersburg District in Broadwater County, Montana. The Parker Property is located west of the North Home Mine and the Keating Mines. Two properties noted for vastly different ore recoveries.
The Parker Group covers a large number of adits, shafts and prospects, including some processing areas. The mines are in a relatively remote area with the exception of the primary portal which is located just off Johnny Gulch Road. The portal on Johnny Gulch is the only access to the underground workings of the mine. The Parker Mining Company drove this drift between 1900 and 1910 and sought to access the ore bodies under the existing shafts and declines. Ore values had shown consistently to increase with depth. The obviously proved to be true and most of the defined orebodies on the claims can be located underground and matched to their shafts.
The Parker Mine is set in the western edge of the Radersburg District on the southern end of the Elkhorn Mountain Range. The district is known for production of gold with minimal silver and very little quartz. The Parker is a fine example of this model with native gold in pyrites in small veins from 2 to 18 inches in width exposed in the underground workings. Silver in the form of galena is also present but has been largely discarded and dumped in waste piles around the claims. This silver could also be easily processed in batches at the nearby Paradine Mill in Radersburg.
