and an additional 1,120± acres of claims on Ptarmigan Creek about 20 miles from the current operation. This lucrative venture comes as a complete turn-key operation with all equipment, tools, hardware, supplies, permits, and applicable licenses included in the sale and necessary for ensuring a seamless mining operation. With equipment already on the property, the mine yields an impressive historic production of approximately 670 ounces to 900 ounces of gold per season. This is achieved with a wash plant operating approximately 35 hours per week mining from approximately 500 to 600 lineal feet of creek bed. With the addition of more personnel, seasonal gold yields could increase significantly. The typical operating season spans from June through September 15. Reclamation is current on all claims. On-site living accommodations include an apartment attached to the shop, a bunkhouse, a trailer, and five camper pads equipped with sewer and electrical hookups for additional housing. The site also features an all-cedar 8,000-watt rock heater sauna with a shower stall. The Ketchum Creek Gold Mine, with its rich potential and storied history, remains a significant source of gold and other precious metals in the Circle Mining District. The region's unique geology and high-grade ores continue to attract both small-scale prospectors and large-scale mining operations alike, and the potential for significant profits makes the area desirable for both mining operations. While the area presents many challenges, the rewards for successful mining ventures can be substantial. This mine represents a prime opportunity for lucrative ventures in the heart of Alaska's gold country.
