WONDERFUL 20 Acre Mining Claim Fremont County Colorado Arkansas River GOLD, MINE
Location: CO

Description
For sale is a really wonderful claim, that is located in Fremont County Colorado, on the very historically gold rich, Arkansas River. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a mining claim on one of the most sought after water ways in Colorado. This claim is located about 15 or so minutes South-East of Salida, Colorado. It is located just off of US hwy 50. While this is not the most ideal candidate for camping, it is a great candidate for those looking to setup basecamp either in town or at one of the many RV parks or recreational areas close by. There is a nice pull off on the side of the road, where one could car camp, but since its next to the highway its not necessarily quiet. There is a little hike down to the water via a nice walkway of exposed bed-rock (of which I panned material found within the crevasses and found gold. Normally if I had a claim on the Arkansas I would ask SO much more for it than I am for this one, however given the limited camping I figured Id list this one up for one heck of a deal. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.
!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. Many of the claims being sold here on ebay are "paper staked" and thus given federal law, illegal. 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.
