Property Description
Positioned on the edge of Denali National Park in Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the Dutch Creek Gold Mine offers a rare opportunity to own an active gold mining claim with a rich history and extensive potential. Spanning 1,880� acres, this property lies within the historic Yenta Mining District, where it has been producing precious metals since 1936. Located in a region renowned for mineral wealth, the mine focuses primarily on placer gold extraction, with secondary commodities including valuable chromium and tungsten ores. The mineralization in this region traces back to the Pleistocene epoch, lending the area both geological significance and exceptional placer deposits.
Unique geological features characterize the Dutch Creek Gold Mine, including Mesozoic marine sedimentary bedrock and hydrothermally altered zones at the creek's headwaters. Controlled by a northeast-trending fault known as the Dutch Creek Lineament, the area's geology provides a favorable environment for gold extraction.
Along with Dutch Creek itself, the placer claims extend to the nearby tributaries, Basic, Siwash, Blank, and Prospect Creeks, representing an estimated four miles of potentially productive ground for exploration and mining. Beyond its mineral wealth, the Dutch Creek property is equipped to support both small and large-scale operations. With a comprehensive set of machinery, from loaders and dozers to specialized wash plant equipment, the mine is ready for immediate action. Two cabins on-site offer essential amenities, including solar power, oil heat, and gas lighting, providing a comfortable base for operations.
The Dutch Creek Gold Mine is a standout investment, blending the allure of gold with the rugged beauty of Alaska's frontier. It promises both economic opportunity and a chance to work in one of North America's last great wilderness areas.
