About 000 Boulder Creek Gold Mine
The Boulder Creek Gold Mine represents a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire an active placer gold operation in Alaska's renowned Nome Mining District. Located just 26± miles from Nome, the property consists of three unpatented claims totaling approximately 480± acres. The site includes a functional wash plant, mining equipment, and basic living quarters—making it a turn-key seasonal making it a turn-key seasonal operation with documented gold sales reaching up to $250,000.
Boulder Creek spans 3.5± miles and flows southeasterly into the Sinuk River. Nearly two miles of this stretch are confirmed gold-bearing, as recorded in multiple US Geological Survey sources (Locality 60, Nome C-2/C-3 quadrangles). The creek was initially mined during the famed Nome Gold Rush, with placer operations first noted in 1902-1903 and continued activity documented well into the 1980s. Some historical claims may be patented under US Mineral Survey No. 841, offering potential legal and developmental advantages.
The geological profilechlorite and graphitic schist bedrock overlain by Quaternary gravelsaligns with productive placer gold environments elsewhere in the region. While recent production data is limited, Boulder Creek likely shares the area's reputation for coarse, high-purity gold recoverable through gravity separation.
The property benefits from its proximity to Nome, with access to roads, heavy equipment services, and year-round transportation infrastructure. Beyond mining, the land's gravel resources and location also offer post-extraction real estate development potential.
Combining historical legacy, existing infrastructure, and significant untapped potential, Boulder Creek stands out as a promising investment in one of Alaska's most storied gold-producing regions. It offers both immediate mining viability and long-term development value within a rugged, resource-rich landscape.
