Overview
Located in the Rio Grande National Forest the Klondike Hollow Project 003 Unpatented Lode Claim is 20.00 acres of easily accessible yet remote mining claim. The claim features a large surface mine dump containing ore values and collapsed underground adit entrance.
The claim can be accessed by standard 4WD pickup trucks with camping located close by. Additionally, water runs thru the claim which is a rarity for a lode mine.
This claim would be best suited towards a small mining operation or weekend warrior as the mine dump does have very nice pieces of gold and silver ore disseminated throughout the mine dump.
The adit would take retimbering and digging work to make the underground workings of the mine viable.
Camping
Camping is allowed in the area for up to 14 continuous days.
Access
10.5 miles from the town of Saguache.
With no thru access the claim has minimal traffic and has largely been sheltered for years by the high elevation, short mining season, and lack of continuous loop road infrastructure.
History
The Ford Creek/Bonita Hill area was primarily developed for its lode gold and silver sources. The lode mines are extensive in this area with numerous adits, shafts, and trenches dug and developed
The lode mines were viable enough to warrant a small prospectors tent/cabin boom town close by to this claim called Spook Hollow, old remnants of the town are still visible to this day.
Geology
Local alteration of early barren stage of alteration by fumarolic or acid hot spring activity resulted in intense silification, wall rock replacement by jasper and alteration products of hematite, diaspore, alunite, barite, zunyite, rutile, and kaolin minerals. Later mineralization stage by alkaline or neutral solutions deposited ore and gangue and caused micaceous alteration (sericite and chlorite) and calcite, quartz, and pyrite.
