Overview
Active Gold Mining Claim
Located on the Iditarod National Historic Trail in Alaska's Yukon-Koyukuk Borough, the Moore Creek Gold Mine offers an active gold mining claim. The property comprises 20 unpatented state claims covering over 2,720 acres. The Moore Creek Mine focuses on placer gold extraction, with secondary commodities including chromium, silver, tungsten, mercury, titanium, and zircon ores. This placer mine also contains hard rock gold deposits and has been worked for both ancient terrace gravels and modern stream alluvium. The gold-rich area stretches about two miles long and 300 to 1,300 feet wide, with gravels up to 20 feet thick. Older terrace deposits are inferred to be Late Tertiary to early Pleistocene. Mining began in 1911, with operations shifting to mechanized equipment by the 1930s. Large-scale mining continued until 1986, with intermittent activity afterward. From 1911 to 1986, the mine produced at least 53,990 ounces of gold and 12,520 ounces of silver, with peak production in the 1930s and 1950s. Fossils found in the area date back 36,000 years. Gold nuggets up to 19 ounces have been found. The Moore Creek Gold Mine is located in a region known for its mineral wealth.
