20 Acre Mining Claim Grand County Colorado Stillwater Creek GOLD Rocky Mountain

Up for sale is a wonderful claim, located on Stillwater Creek, just outside of Grand Lake Colorado, which sits as the western entrance to the incredible Rocky Mountain National Park. This claim sits right in the heart of one of the richest placer deposits within the Grand Lake Mining District. Early mining in this area began around the late 1860s with the bulk of placer mining happening on Gold Creek, Stillwater Creek and Kaufman Creek. Gold here is fine flakes and flour but some pockets and paystreaks produce small pickers. Claim is located off Stillwater Pass Road which is best accessed from the Grand Lake side. There is AMPLE tent camping within the claim and along with that there is a NICE big pull-off that would easily facilitate a large Camper or RV. All 4 corners are marked and a legal location monument is in place. I personally prospected, staked, and worked this claim, pulling about 1.5 grams out. I did not get a chance to work this as much as I would have liked. You can run a highbanker here without a permit as long as its battery powered. You can dredge with a permit. This claim has a TON of potential and is in a really great location. Name: Stillwater Occurrence Serial: CO106843536 Location Monument: 40.227103°N 105.914952°W This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to invest, especially given the current price of land and Gold. Its perfect for not only those looking to dip there toes into prospecting but also for the seasoned miner! Please don't hesitate 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.
