PROSPECTS: Outstanding

In all regional stream gravels you can find placer gold and platinum

SITUATED IN THE MIDST OF SOME OF THE MOST RENOWNED HIGH-GRADE GOLD SOURCES IN AMERICA

• The 1925 California State Mineralogist’s report states that the placer mines on the North Fork of the Salmon River from Sawyers Bar (Eddy Gulch) to Forks of Salmon produced approx. 2 million ounces of gold.


• Sawyers Bar reported a total production between 1855-1965 estimated at 16,000 ounces of placer gold and 20,000 ounces of lode gold.


• The Forks of Salmon was the center of large gold mining operations in the 1800's.


• The King Solomon Mine was a major producer of lode gold.

Below, are a few examples of gold recovery documentation / notoriety, in this well renowned gold-rich region;

An estimate of the total potential resource from historical data is 1.23 million ounces of gold, representing $1.15 billion at $935 per ounce. That estimate is derived by attributing 1) half of the 2 million ounces from placer production to erosion from Eddy Gulch, 2) adding the reported placer production of 150,000 ounces, and 3) reported lode production of 81,352 ounces from mines at Eddy Gulch.

The following table shows historical lode production from the properties valued at a gold price of approximately $935 per ounce. Historic lode production would be valued today at over $76 million. The production data shown below is from California State Mineralogist's reports and numerous private geologic reports.

In the 1850s, placer mines in Eddy Gulch produced 150,000 ounces of gold. The source of the placer gold was the series of lode deposits that strike across the head of Eddy Gulch, the principal one being the structure now covered by the Eddy Gulch Group of claims. The Mountain Laurel Mine and the Klamath Mine, the greatest producers in Eddy Gulch, were discovered in 1862, and the Union Mine about the same time. The Anna Johnson Mine was discovered in 1895.

The 1925 California State Mineralogist's report states that the placer mines in the North Fork of the Salmon River from Sawyers Bar (Eddy Gulch) to Forks of Salmon, produced about 2 million ounces of gold.

31-pound surface pocket discovered on Graham Gulch It was reported that this miner wheeled his barrow from Trinity Center by way of Etna and Sawyers Bar and struck a $6000 (@$16 an oz.) pocket of gold on Graham Gulch. Equal to 375 Troy ounces Nearly $400,000.00 at today's prices
