Premier Location
41.32 acres of remote yet accessible mining claims with quality surface ore. Numerous small workings & pits expose a mineralized complex ore body.
Overview
Due to the wide scope of workings onsite this claim package comes with two adjoining claims to fully cover the mineralized zone and surface workings left behind by previous operations in the 1940's. Unfortunately, selling the claims separately is not available on this package.
These claims host a stockwork of vein systems in close proximity, this is why you will notice many different pits and small workings across the claim. Our research has revealed silver and gold on this claim in addition to a wide array of base metals such as lead, zinc, iron, and some copper + manganese staining. The majority of the gold values are locked within a sulfide ore and are generally not free milling.
Consequently, some veins and surface piles carry higher concentrations of silver and lower concentrations of gold and vice versa on other vein systems. This claim is recommended for an experienced prospector due to the fluctuations within the vein system.
There is enough loose ore on the surface to keep a recreational prospector occupied for years. This claim was never diamond core drilled so deeper into the vein system remains and unknown factor of ore grade and vein system development.
Camping
Camping is allowed for up to 14 days. There is ample dispersed camping on the claim and surrounding areas or a hotel in the town of Saguache.
Access
14 miles from the town of Saguache. ATV / UTV recommended. High clearance 4WD pickup trucks will also make it to the claim. From the town of Saguache 12.5 of the 14 mile approach is all dirt Forest Service road. Gates open May 15th and generally the mining season lasts until October 15th every year. Traffic is minimal; with the bulk of the road activity occurring during the fall hunting season.
There is no reliable cell service at this claim, consequently it is recommended to bring a way to communicate, spare tire, and tire chains, especially early and late season.
History
The greater Kerber Creek area was primarily developed for its lode gold and silver sources in the late 1800's. The lode mines were active up until World War 2. Since then several exploration permits were pulled within the district and a publicly traded company has also moved into the district. The Kerber Creek Mining District sits due W / SW from the town of Bonanza.
