20 Acre Gold Mining Claim Illinois River Placer Mine Jackson County Colorado !!

For sale is my beloved, 20 acre, unpatented mining claim in Jackson County, Colorado. It is located on the gold rich, Illinois River, which is about 15-20 minutes away from Rand Colorado, and about an hour or so from Grand Lake, 30 or so minutes from Walden Colorado. This claim is absolutely packed with potential. The gold here is mostly flour gold with an occasional picker to be found. Most, if not ALL of this river is claimed up, given its ability to produce. The claim has a nice little pull-off that can easily facilitate a smaller Camper/RV and there are places within about 1/2 a mile that can handle much larger pull behind units. This claim is truly an untapped gem, I have not been able to work it nearly as much as I would have liked to, but I have in total, pulled about .78 grams of gold from the claim. You can camp, hike, fish (great fishing here), and of course mine. The road leading into the area is very well maintained and can be gotten to easily with a 2wd. There is a TON to do nearby as well, the 23k acre state preserve is about 15 minutes away, and Grand Lake, Granby area is just about an hour. There is good food and fuel in Walden. While I hate to see this claim go, I am looking to raise some money for my museum, so all proceeds from the sale of this claim will go towards that. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have. All fees are paid up until next September.

!MUST READ EVERYTHING BELOW BEFORE BUYING OR BIDDING!

Why buy from me? I am local to Colorado, unlike many of the folks on here selling claims. I personally prospected and staked each and every claim I own. I am more than happy to answer questions, take phone calls, help you along your prospecting journey. I take a lot of pride in the work I do and a large portion of the money raised goes toward a non-profit museum. How long will the transfer process take? After the full purchase price has been paid, it typically takes anywhere between 7-10 business days for the quitclaim to be submitted to both the BLM and the County. This is because I personally take the quitclaim down to the BLM Colorado State offices down in Lakewood, CO. This ensures the fastest turnaround time and also allows me to provide the buyer with the original "wet" copy of the Quitclaim for their records. All in all, most buyers receive the finalized quitclaim in the mail from me within 45 days or less. Are there any taxes? There are no taxes, however there is a 200.00 maintenance fee that is due to the BLM before September 1st of each year. Alternatively you can submit a Small Miners Waiver, which reduces that fee to only 15.00. I happy to provide these forms upon request. Are there any returns or refunds? Given the nature of how un-patented mining claims are transferred there are NO refunds or returns. There is no reversal of the claim transfer, thus once the notarized quitclaim has been submitted to the BLM there is no option for a refund. All sales are final.

TRANSFER FEE:

There is a 250.00 transfer fee that is associated with each purchase. PLEASE note this when bidding or buying. This will be added to the final bidding/buying price.

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.
