Premier Location
Located just a few miles from the Town of Pitkin Colorado, the Quartz Creek Gold Placer claim is located directly within the infamous Quartz Creek.
Overview
Located in the Rio Grande National Forest the Colorado Bedrock Gold 001 Unpatented Placer Claim is 20.00 acres of easily accesible yet remote mining claim. Located directly down source of the in-situ lode deposits that were developed in the 19040's. the stream has a high concentration of quality gold including nuggets and large flakes in addition to fine gold. Perfect for a small dredging or high banking operation.
Competition
The area is extremely competitive for claims and Gunnison Gold Prospecting currently holds the only two placer claims for sale in the entire Quartz Creek valley.
Camping
Camping is allowed on the claim for up to 14 days continuous per month and the camping area is located directly creekside in the center of the claim.
Access
10.5 miles from the town of Saguache.
With no thru access the claim has minimal traffic and has largely been sheltered for years by the high elevation, short mining season, and lack of continuous loop road infrastructure.
History
The Ford Creek/Bonita Hill area was primarily developed for its lode gold and silver sources. With no evidence of large scale placer mining on the claim it's safe to assume that the creek has never been worked on a large scale and probably only intermittently with hand fed sluice box and gold pans. The lode mines are extensive with numerous adits, shafts, and trenches dug and developed upstream and on all side of this placer claim.
The lode mines were so rich that a small prospectors tent/cabin boom town sprung up close to this placer claim called Spook Hollow, old remnants of the town are still visible to this day.
Dredging
Geology
Local alteration of early barren stage of alteration by fumarolic or acid hot spring activity resulted in intense silification, wall rock replacement by jasper and alteration products of hematite, diaspore, alunite, barite, zunyite, rutile, and kaolin minerals. Later mineralization stage by alkaline or neutral solutions deposited ore and gangue and caused micaceous alteration (sericite and chlorite) and calcite, quartz, and pyrite.
