The PorcupinePaydirt .com website offers an invitation to mine on a claim in Alaska for one day with the purchase of a bag of pay dirt and will send an invitation which should be completed and mailed back if you want to participate. You could stay longer:

You could do small scale gold mining FOR 3 DAYS on our State of Alaska Gold Mining Claim on Porcupine Creek during the 2016 mining season with option to buy at terms we have agreed to accept.

THIS CLAIM IS near a MINING OPERATION ON a CLAIM North of this claim WHICH WE recently SOLD (160 ACRE CLAIM).

You could HAVE FUN IN ALASKA AND FIND SOME GOLD or possibly own an Alaska gold mining claim!

You may fly, drive, bike or hike to the trail to this mining claim. You must bring your own ATV (4x4 or 6x6), your own small scale mining equipment, all of your supplies, including water and shelter. There is a store with hunting/fishing licenses, propane and more about 1/2 mile south of the trail and 15 miles north is a store, fuel, café, tavern, motel and more.

Caution: mining has risks such as getting hurt, animals, drowning and more - you are on your own without any assistance but we are also in the area almost every day. Pan carefully - you will find gold. I always recommend that you have a friend or companion with you any time you are in remote areas - even though you are only a few miles from a main highway - for safety reasons and assistance if an accident happens. We are offering 10 of these deals - so have your friend or several friends or family order one as well and you could both or all have fun.

THERE IS A RIGHT-OF-WAY, A GOOD TRAIL, TO THIS CLAIM WHICH IS ABOUT 4 MILES FROM THE MAIN HIGHWAY - GOOD FOR ATV, 4X4, OR EQUIPMENT. The parties who bought the other claim took in a D8, Case 450, water pumps and 100+ ton per hour wash plant. We use ATV’s to go back and forth all summer.

This claim is on the Porcupine Creek which crosses the Tok Cutoff Highway which is Highway 1 in Alaska and drains into the Slana River and into the Copper River, a large gold producing drainage. (Yellow Oval)

This claim is in the yellow oval near the top in the photo and in a large Mid-Cretaceous Alaskan Porphyry Belt that starts in the vicinity of the Pebble Mine Project in SW Alaska and continues N to the Slate Creek and Miller Gulch area and then swings SE through this claim, yellow oval, and continues SE to include the Nabesna Gold Mine (Slate Creek – Miller Gulch and Nabesna are near this claim) and the gold belt continues SE to the Orange Hill Gold Mine.

Slate Creek and Miller Gulch, 40 mi. NW of claim, produced 180,000 ounces of Gold in the past, the Nabesna Gold Mine, 30 mi. SE of claim, assayed 256 ounces of gold in a quartz vein, read “Nabesna Gold” online & in bookstores.

The Porcupine Creek Campground is located where the creek crosses the highway at Milepost 64 and this claim is about 2 miles up the creek from the campground. Porcupine Creek flows all summer: 1’ to 3’ deep & 10’-30’ wide.

The trail access to the claim is from the old Highway where there is a large parking area. The claim is about 4 miles up the trail and a mile or two down the Porcupine Creek, which is useable by ATV’s or some 4x4 vehicles.

You agree that you will only use small equipment such as a high banker or dredge with intake nozzles no larger than 6 inches and will comply with all Mining Laws. If you want to mine with larger equipment or test with backhoe or excavator we could work out the details on doing that - let me know the details and we will discuss it.

You will need your own ATV’s (4x4 or 6x6), mining equipment and all of the supplies and shelter you will need – including water, the creek water may not be safe to drink. There are stores near these claims and towns within 60 to 80 miles north and south. You will be on your own but within a few miles of our highway location. Your cell phone may or may not work back at the claim.

You must not have fires on the claim or in the area because of the HIGH fire danger. The area is covered with moss and trees which burn like a match from a small spark or hot ember. If you start a forest fire it could end up costing you millions of dollars and jail time.

This is a State Claim not Federal and state laws are less restrictive. http://dnr.alaska.gov

You will need to decide if you want to purchase this claim before September 1st of 2016 provided we have agreed on terms for you to do so. If you don't then you may continue dredging for the rest of the season and/or discuss the possibility of extending small scale mining on the claim for an additional year.

We will work out the terms for an option for you to purchase the claim which must be mutually agreeable.

The town of Tok is 60 miles north and Glennallen Alaska is only 80 miles south. Both have most services available such as hardware, auto parts, banks, restaurants, motels + more.

Please ask any questions when you call and please keep in mind, if you buy the claim, you never own the land. It is a mining claim and owned by the State of Alaska but you own the mining rights. You have responsibilities to the state such as filing paperwork, paying rent each year, performing annual labor and filing documents to keep the claim. The claims are not patented.

However, if you buy the claim you may sell the claim or give it away and it may be inherited but possession does not pass with a Warranty Deed it only passes as a Mining Quit Claim Deed.

You may camp on the claim, you cannot build permanent structures but temporary structures are authorized as long as they can be removed when mining is no longer active. For the rules in Alaska go to http://dnr.alaska.gov

$300.00 for three (3) days during the 2016 mining season but if this is in an auction whatever the highest bid is - (or $2,500.00 for one month) and you agree that you will give us all coordinates where mining activity occurred, take photos of and reclaim each location mined or tested and will give us 15% of all gold recovered out of each cleanup. An agreement will be sent for your signature.
