LOOK! 20 Acre ACTIVE Mining Claim Jackson County Colorado Illinois River GOLD !!

Description

Up for sale is a true gem of a claim, located on the Illinois River, just outside of Rand Colorado, in Jackson County. This claim has a little over 1400' of creek running through it, and acts a drainage for some of the best gold in Jackson County. While most is flour gold (with a few small pickers here and there) its a great claim for those looking to truly work fresh ground. You can dredge here with a permit! All 4 corners are marked with 4'x2" PVC and proper, legal location monument is in place... claim is ACTIVE and all paperwork is up to date with both the county and the BLM, with all fees paid until Sept. 1st of next year. Claim Name: IL RVR GLD Serial: CO106843544

Claim was originally filed in 2024 but moved over to my LLC account back at the start of Sept. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Make sure you are buying a legit claim with ALL field work completed. I live here in Colorado and I personally prospected, staked, and worked this claim! How many others on eBay can say the same?

!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.
