"Bushmill & Baileys"
Lyon County, Nevada. (7) Unpatented Lode Mining Claims
Church Creek is a past producing gold placer mining claim, measuring 20 acres, located next to the striking Northern Sierra Buttes in the beautiful Tahoe National Forest! Situated at the junction between two rivers, the Church Creek placer double-dips into two rich gold streams! The Church Creek itself can be panned and mined year round, but it's adjoining partner only flows seasonally in spring and parts of summer. Some miners might see this as a hindrance, but more enterprising miners will find the dry times to be a unique stroke of luck.

The Church Creek, flowing from Snag Lake, joins with its bigger twin the Salmon Creek, which finds itself downriver from the old Lone Wolf Group mines, mines that were assaying hundreds of dollars worth of gold in 1942. Decades of winter wear on these old mountains have put their heavy, valuable ore down the one place they can go: rolling straight into these streams.
The Church Creek claim is located a short distance from the beautiful Salmon Lakes, meaning lake-side camping and fishing are practically next door. Wild deer can be seen tip-toeing through the claim if your eyes are sharp. But if the nights up in the Sierras become a little too cold, following the Gold Lake Highway South to Sierra City will provide you with warm beds, food, and drink as quick as a 15 minute drive.

Mining Claims & Transfer Process
An unpatented mining claim gives the holder the right to mine on mineral-rich land that belongs to the federal government. It is a tangible asset that shows proof of all interests in minerals in the area. They can be bought, sold or used as collateral, just like any other piece of real estate. Mining claims have been bought and sold for 150+ years.
The mining claim deed conveys all mineral rights, and interests to you. A copy of the deed is also issued to the Bureau of Land Management for recording. The transfer process typically is completed by all parties, and the official paperwork returned to you within 10-14 days after purchase.
