Claims available in 2012
I was contacted by some people while I was in Dawson this summer who have claims they want to sell. One fellow has 9 claims near the Mayo area. He has a water license in place so the property is ready to mine. He is poor health so he really wants to sell. He needed a bigger dozer to open the road over the mountains to the mine. He had a D-5, but he thinks a D-8 would do it. A big snow drift…
I believe he wanted $400,000
My friend Darrel has claims on Clear Creek, between Dawson and Whitehorse. I saw the results of his testing. He showed me some nice flakes in a vile. He said he was getting about 10 of these colors per paint bucket.
He has not set a price yet.
