About 0000 Ketchum Creek Road
Ketchum Creek Gold Mine lies in the Yukon-Koyukuk Borough and within one hundred fifty miles from Fairbanks near
Circle Hot Springs, Alaska, in the remote Alaskan wilderness. This offering consists of a contiguous set of 39 gold claims
representing a total of 1724± acres, with 5,118± lineal feet along Ketchum Creek and 6,603± lineal feet along Mary Louise
Creek left to be mined, and an additional 1,120± acres of claims on Ptarmigan Creek about 20 miles from the current
operation. This lucrative venture comes as a complete turn-key operation with all equipment, tools, hardware, supplies,
permits, and applicable licenses included in the sale and necessary for ensuring a seamless mining operation.
With equipment already on the property, the mine yields an impressive historic production of approximately 670 ounces
to 900 ounces of gold per season. This is achieved with a wash plant operating approximately 35 hours per week mining
from approximately 500 to 600 lineal feet of creek bed. With the addition of more personnel, seasonal gold yields could
increase significantly. The typical operating season spans from June through September 15. Reclamation is current on all
claims.
On-site living accommodations include an apartment attached to the shop, a bunkhouse, a trailer, and five camper pads
equipped with sewer and electrical hookups for additional housing. The site also features an all-cedar 8,000-watt rock
heater sauna with a shower stall.
The Ketchum Creek Gold Mine, with its rich potential and storied history, remains a significant source of gold and
other precious metals in the Circle Mining District. The region's unique geology and high-grade ores continue to attract
both small-scale prospectors and large-scale mining operations alike, and the potential for significant profits makes the
area desirable for both mining operations. While the area presents many challenges, the rewards for successful mining
ventures can be substantial. This mine represents a prime opportunity for lucrative ventures in the heart of Alaska's gold
country.
