Easy Access To Historic Workings
Remote Location
Premier Location
41.32 acres of remote yet accessible mining claims with quality surface ore values. Numerous shafts & pits expose a mineralized ore body ready to be mined.
Overview
One of the keystone claims in our winter 2024 portfolio, the Klondike Hollow Project 017/018 Lodes provide the best of both worlds to any potential buyer.
Not only do you have unobstructed access to numerous shafts, but you also have multiple ore/tailings piles to re-process or hunt specimens in.
Access is great and traffic is very minimal due to the lack of continuous loop road infrastructure. This lack of high traffic access has been able to preserve this mine thru the years upon its premature closure.
Veins structures are easily delineated and high quality samples can be found easily.
Camping
Camping is allowed for up to 14 days.
Access
14 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 and lack of continuous loop road infrastructure.
History
The Ford Creek/Bonita Hill area was primarily developed for its lode gold and silver sources. The lode mines are extensive with numerous adits, shafts, and trenches dug and developed upstream and on all side of this lode claim.
The lode mines were so rich that a small prospectors tent/cabin boom town sprung up nearby the mines claim called Spook City, old remnants of the town are still visible to this day.
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.
