Overview

Telluride Mining Claims with Waterfalls

Comprising 5 patented mining claims totaling approximately 33 acres, this property, known as the Bear Creek Falls Property, includes 100% interest in the Wild Yankee Millsite claim, which contains Bear Creek Falls, and nearly 100% ownership in the four other mining claims that surround Bear Creek Falls: The Wild Yankee Lode (containing the Upper Falls), The Silver Chief Millsite, The Silver Chief Lode, and the Excelsior Lode. Located just two miles from downtown Telluride, the property is an inholding within US Forest Service Lands and is adjacent to the Town's Bear Creek Preserve. The Bear Creek Falls Property is the destination at the end of the Bear Creek Falls Trail, which is ranked #2 on Trip Advisor for "Things to do in Telluride" with an estimated 200,000 permissive use visitors annually. A user fee model could potentially be imposed, and with improvements such as a viewing platform, stairs to the upper falls, etc., the revenue estimates are significant. Conversely, if this property was acquired and brought back into the public domain there would likely be significant tax credits available. The property is a part of Telluride’s identity as an outdoor destination.
