Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Patented mining claim parcel in the Crystal townsite vicinity, comprising 10.33 acres of mostly level ground. Buckeye Boy No. 1 is patented, meaning it is owned as private land with no requirement to assay or perform mining activity to maintain ownership.

The parcel is completely surrounded as an in-holding in the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness and sits just feet from the southwest edge of Mineral Point, where sheer cliffs tower above Crystal City. Access is currently limited to a single-wide wilderness trail, past waterfall areas and mine tunnel portals. On the property, there are the remains of an original log miners’ cabin and a 30 ft tunnel into the quartz cliff on the claim.

A pit-well with water remains a few feet down at Mineral Point near the cabin remains. The Buckeye Boy claim wraps over the west edge of Mineral Point above Crystal City, and it is described as positioned to support a high-end top-abutment concept for a possible cable-car gondola from Crystal City to the top of Mineral Point.
