Mailbox Creek in Koyukuk - I have three 40 acre federal mining claims in Alaska I would like to sell or trade for a mid size dozer D6 up to D8 size, or possibly an excavator around the 200 size in good shape. The claims are 1-1/2 mile long on Mailbox Creek in the Koyukuk mining district, about 235 miles North of Fairbanks. These claims are on the West side of the Middle fork of the Koyukuk river, South of Coldfoot above Tramway Bar. Claim Names: Priority, Express and Overnight. The creek is south facing - lots of sun-and has good water, about 80 miners inches, plenty but not too much. The claims were worked by hand and a little hydraulicing by the old timers in the '30s before the war, and the ground payed well, up to a 1/3 of an ounce per bedrock yard and 5-6 feet of material depth on false bedrock. There are two runs of gold in this creek-one fine and flakey, and the other coarse and heavy in the lower darker gravels. The claims have never been worked with equipment and have lot's of virgin ground, the benches have never been touched, lot's of potential. There's a gated road off the haul road or Dalton Hwy that leads to the river across from Tramway Bar, the claims on Mailbox Creek are about a mile further up river. I did some research and found some historical studies on the creeks in the area and Mailbox Creek had high values. I found it was open for staking, tested it, found some gold and claimed the ground. If you are interested in looking at this property I can arrange to show it to you this summer/fall. I plan on testing the ground some more this summer. This property has huge potential with a small mechanized operation such as a small cat for stripping and pushing, a small to mid size excavator for feeding a wash plant or a simple sluice box with grizzly bars, and a water pump and you're mining gold. If you're interested please E-mail me at jayrarmstrong@hotmail.com or call and leave a message @ (907)687-6938 Jay Armstrong. I'm probably going to be out prospecting/mining or working somewhere, so leave a message and when I get back I'll return the call or E-mail. I try to check my phone and E-mail messages at least once a week. $30,000 or trade for decent D6-D8 or good 200 excavator.

Fourth of July Creek - Six 160 acre state mining claims. ADL 652979, 652992, 653015, 653016, 653027, and 653028. Fourth of July Creek is in the Iditarod district approximately 60 miles southwest of McGrath and about 2 miles northeast of Moore Creek, Alaska. The auriferous gravel ranges from about 6 to 25 feet thick and it is overlain by about 10 feet of overburden. The creek is large enough to support a large suction dredge. During 1982 and 1983, 45 ounces of gold were recovered in mine tests by Magnuson Mining Company. Access is via a small Super Cub type airstrip. There is no equipment or buildings.

From the Alaska Resource Data File at http://ardf.wr.usgs.gov/ardf_data/Iditarod.pdf :

Latitude: 62.6546 Longitude: 157.1187 Quadrangle: ID C-3

Location description and accuracy: The Fourth of July Creek placer mine is in the upper portion of Fourth of July Creek between about 1,250 and 1,450 feet in elevation. The coordinates are at the midpoint of the deposit in the SE1/4 SE1/4 section 27, T. 30 N., R. 42 W., of the Seward Meridian. The location is accurate. The placer is locality 38 of Cobb (1972 [MF 363]); also described in Cobb (1976 [OFR 76-576]).

Commodities: Main: Au Other: Ag, Cr, Hg, W Ore minerals: Chromite, cinnabar, gold, magnetite, mercury, polybasite, scheelite, silver, tetrahedrite Gangue minerals: Magnetite

Geologic description: The Fourth of July Creek placer deposit extends for about 2.5 miles along the creek from an elevation of from 1,250 and 1,450 feet in elevation. At the upper end of the auriferous zone, the pay gravel overlies altered dacite of the Beaver Mountains volcanic field (Bundtzen, Laird, and Lockwood, 1988; Miller and Bundtzen, 1994; Miller, Bundtzen, and Gray, in press). The lower end of the paystreak overlies shale and sandstone of the Upper Cretaceous, Kuskokwim Group (Bundtzen, Laird, and Lockwood, 1988). The auriferous gravel ranges from about 6 to 25 feet thick and it is overlain by about 10 feet of overburden. The gold varies from 853 to 899 fine (Bundtzen, Cox, and Veach, 1987). The heavy minerals identified in concentrates include native mercury, cinnabar, scheelite, native silver, tetrahedrite, polybasite, magnetite, and chromite. One sample of heavy-mineral concentrate contained 24.8 percent chromite. During 1982 and 1983, 45 ounces of gold were recovered in mine tests by Magnuson Mining Company (Bundtzen, Laird, and Lockwood, 1988). Water was a problem during test mining in 1982 and the bedrock and the stream gradient may play key roles in future exploration and mining. The placer contains a significant amounts of chromite; concentrates were tested by the U.S. Bureau of Mines for platinum minerals but they were found to only contain about 60 ppb palladium (Bundtzen, Cox, and Veach, 1987).

Workings/exploration: The Fourth of July Creek placer deposit was churn drilled in 1937 by the USSR&M Company (Smith, 1939 [B 910-A]). It was trenched by Magnuson Mining Company in 1982 and 1983 (Bundtzen and others, 1988). Surface samples were also collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1985 (McGimsey and others, 1988).

Production notes: Placer gold in Fourth of July Creek was first noted in 1911 (Brooks, 1912), but the only production that has been documented is from 1982 and 1983 when 45 ounces gold were recovered during mine tests by Magnuson Mining Company (Bundtzen, Laird, and Lockwood, 1988). Water was a problem during test mining in 1982 and the bedrock and the stream gradient may play key roles in future exploration and mining.

Reserves: None documented, but gold resources are likely (Miller, Bundtzen, and Gray, in press).

Deadwood Creek - Five 160 acre state mining claims. ADL 652868, 652869, 652893, 652894, and 652987. Deadwood Creek is in the Iditarod district approximately 60 miles southwest of McGrath. It is about 8 miles north of Moore Creek. From the Alaska Resource Data File at http://ardf.wr.usgs.gov/ardf_data/Iditarod.pdf :

"The Deadwood Creek placer deposit extends for about 1 mile northeast of the sharp bend at the head of Deadwood Creek about 5 miles above its mouth. The placer is at elevation of about 1,300 feet and extends diagonally across the E 1/2 section 12, T. 30 N., R. 42 W., of the Seward Meridian. The Deadwood Creek prospect is an unexploited placer gold prospect with shallow overburden that was discovered in the 1930s but never mined (Toivo Rosander and Don Harris, oral communication, 1983). Fine-grained placer gold occurs in fluvial gravel layers, 3 to 10 feet thick, that are covered by 6 to 10 feet of overburden. The placer paystreak as outlined by churn drilling covers a area about 500 feet wide and a mile long. The gold-bearing paystreak is in alluvium of uncertain age (Bundtzen, Laird, and Lockwood, 1988; Miller and Bundtzen, 1994; Miller, Bundtzen, and Gray, in press). Placer gold has also been found in nearby Maybe Creek (ID083). In the early 1980s, a trail was constructed from Moore Creek (ID084) to bring mining equipment to the site and an airstrip was constructed. Small amounts of placer gold were recovered during pit testing and during churn drilling (Toivo Rosander and Don Harris, oral communication, 1983). Reserves - Not determined, but the placer was though to be economic in the 1980s."

The site is still unmined. The five claims cover the mile long placer. Much equipment remains on the site although much is old and in disrepair. There is a bunk trailer on-site that with a little clean up can easily house a couple people. There is a large Lincoln arc welder on the back of the trailer that is probably operable (no promises). There is an old, small bulldozer on-site but no idea if it can be made to run. Lots of hydraulic pipe and a sluice. There is a small storage hut packed full of misc gear and tools. There is an approximately 2000 gallon fuel tank with some diesel of indeterminate condition. There is a running Honda? 4-wheeler and meat wagon. There is a set of tracks for a D9 18A onsite in very good condition. The airstrip was cleared last year and is easily Cessna 206 capable. Deadwood Creek itself is just a little gut of water. This is not for somebody wanting to use a suction dredge. To be mined the muck will have to be stripped so obviously decent equipment would have to be brought in to do the work.

The best access would be to barge equipment to Takotna Landing on the Kuskokwim River then up the road to Ganes Creek, which is 30 miles from Deadwood. The last 30 miles would be overland in winter (the state only allows large equipment to travel overland in winter). Another option is a Sky Van can probably fly directly into the Deadwood Creek strip. A Sky Van can haul about 4,000 pounds so can only haul smaller equipment. We flew a Takeuchi TB-450 into Moore Creek in a Sky Van but we had to completely disassemble it and fly it in two loads.

Rainy Creek - Rainy Creek in the heart of the Alaska Range is a rich gold placer stream providing a unique raw gold investment opportunity. Vegoren Enterprises is offering the mineral rights on 101 mining claims, which total 4,040 acres of stream valley gold placers for sale or joint venture. Gold and platinum are mined on the ground, but gold is the much more common. The volume of placer ground is over two million cubic yards. The grades range from rich (.13 ounces per bank cubic yard) to easily economic to mine (.015 oz/bcy). One bulk test, 70 feet wide by 1320 feet long and 15 feet deep (51,333 bcy) yielded 2,667 troy ounces for a grade of .052 oz/bcy.

The depth to bedrock depends on the location. A vertical reach of 20 feet will generally get into bedrock, but it may not in the alluvial fan on the lower claims. Alluvial fans, as a rule, do not have bedrock concentrations. The shallow gravel in the alluvial fan has been profitable to mine without reaching bedrock. Of course, the depth to bedrock will vary with the distance to the sides of the valley and irregularities of the bedrock floor. The rock in the floor is hard and believed to be fairly smooth. Nevertheless, there could be older and deeper buried channels, similar to Valdez Creek ís buried channels that were carved by interglacial streams in the valley.

In spite of the rich grade of the property, it has only been partially (less than 5%) mined since its discovery in 1900. In those early days the prospectors attempted to mine Rainy Creek gravels, but were hampered by the boulders, the locally high water table, and blacksand. Mining by hand in the early days in Alaska was only successful where the bedrock was shallow and the ground could yield about .1 oz/bcy. Rainy Creek could not be coerced to produce that much gold. In those days, this area was quite remote and much more difficult to get into. All of this has changed. Today it is close to the Richardson Highway and heavy equipment has enabled large volumes of less than bonanza grade gravels to be mined quite profitably.

Placer mining in Alaska has surged since the price of gold rose above $35 during the last third of a century. In that time, why has Rainy Creek not been mined, you ask? Some of it has been mined. The reasons it has not been more extensively mined are typical of many business ventures. These reasons include inexperienced operators, under capitalized operations, bad luck, and personal incompatibility problems. The full report, prepared by Jim Halloran, elaborates on these issues and about the testing and mining on the property.

The setting around the property is outstanding even by Alaskan landscape standards. The access is good by Alaskan standards too. It is only four miles from a paved highway. However, the Delta River must be crossed. The PDF report photos shows how this is done.

Rainy Creek has high potential for $60 to $80 per yard gravel from the mouth of the West Fork down to the top of the fan, which is approximately where the sand pattern starts on the topographic map. In my opinion, it cannot miss in this area. It is a sure thing because there has been mining upstream, downstream, and even a little in the middle of this area. The mining in the area yielded $60+ per yard at $1200 gold. Rich ground ought to extend to the lower end of the claims too, but it theoretically should be a little leaner. Some of this lower area has been mined.

In conclusion, a placer mining operation with the right equipment to deal with the large boulders and the magnetite should easily make a handsome profit by mining on Rainy Creek. The previous heavy equipment mining was profitable. There is every reason to think it can be repeated, especially with a highly efficient operation.

Valdez Creek - This is a rare opportunity to purchase twenty-five contiguous federal placer claims on the famous Valdez Creek in Alaska. These claims along three miles on the bottom of the valley contain 490 acres and are largely unmined. This property is road accessible with four wheel drive vehicles. The lower end of these claims is one mile above Cambior’s largest open placer mine in the state, the Denali Mine. This is large nugget ground with 52 ounce and 32 ounce nuggets discovered adjacent to this property. In addition to gold platinum and palladium are known to exist upstream from these claims. Twenty-three reverse circulation holes were drilled and one shaft was dug to bedrock by the owners. This work indicated a valuable mineral resource was present for at least one mile of the property. Surf to Topozone ( http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=63.21243&lon=-147.28791&datum=nad27&u=4&layer=DRG50&size=l&s=50 ) which should put you on the lower portion of the claim block in the Healy A-1 quadrangle. Also you can do a Valdez Creek, Alaska search in Google Earth and go right to where this property is located. However, it is so blurry it is not worth much.

Ugalik River - Estate Sale for patented mining claims, equipment & surface facilities on Ungalik & Kougarok River on the Seward Peninsula. Patented mining claims can legally be used for purposes other than mining such as subdividing for cabin sites, etc. although the best land use is in active gold mining. The Ungalik River property consists of 46 federal unpatented mining claims, and 13 patented mining claims, mining equipment, and camp facilities. The unpatented mining claims have been surveyed for patent (US mineral 2331) and patenting process started. These plats are the Master Title Plats and Historical Index Reports from the Bureau of Land Management. All lands surrounding the unpatented claims has been selected by the Shatoolik Native Corporation and portions of the selections have been Interim Conveyed to the village corporation (surface estate) and the regional corporation (subsurface estate) by the BLM. The camp buildings need repair maintenance work to varying degrees. The two smaller cabins could be made usable with little work for use as sleeping quarters for up to 10 people. The two larger buildings and the old bunkhouse have been thoroughly trashed and damaged and are not usable without major effort and cost. The old shop still is useful for storing the four- wheeler and tools. The dredge operated by Patrick Bliss is a Washington Iron Works steel pontoon dredge with 3 cubic foot buckets, estimated to be capable of digging and processing at least 100 cubic yards per hour. The maximum depth to which it could dig is about 18 feet. The dredge appears to be in fair condition and could probably be restarted by a knowledgeable dredge master and several good mechanics without much trouble. The rear of the hull is underwater, but the hull and superstructure steel appear to be in good shape. The bucket line has another season or two in it, and the trommel appears to be in excellent condition centrifugal bowl recovery system to capture more of the fine gold. The airstrip located on the patented claims near the camp gives access to the property. The camp itself is not considered to be of any value. $600,000. More Information Here
