Description

The Boulder Creek Gold Mine presents a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire an active placer gold operation in Alaska’s renowned Nome Mining District. Situated just 26± miles northwest of Nome, the property includes three unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 480± acres. This offering features a functional wash plant, essential mining equipment, and basic living quarters—establishing it as a turnkey seasonal operation. Documented gold sales have reached as high as $250,000, indicating proven production potential.

Boulder Creek itself spans 3.5± miles and flows southeasterly into the Sinuk River. According to multiple U.S. Geological Survey sources (Locality 60, Nome C-2, and C-3 quadrangles), nearly two miles of the creek are confirmed gold-bearing. Originally mined during the iconic Nome Gold Rush, Boulder Creek saw placer activity as early as 1902–1903, with intermittent mining continuing into the 1980s.

The site’s geology is favorable for placer gold recovery, featuring chloritic and graphitic schist bedrock overlain by Quaternary gravels. These conditions are consistent with highly productive gold-bearing environments found throughout the region. Although recent production data is limited, the property is believed to hold coarse, high-purity gold recoverable via gravity separation methods.

The mine benefits from excellent logistics due to its close proximity to Nome, which provides road access, heavy equipment support, fuel, and year-round transportation infrastructure.

Combining a strong historical legacy, established infrastructure, and untapped exploration potential, Boulder Creek offers a promising investment opportunity in one of Alaska’s most historically productive gold mining regions.
