About the Idaho City Mining District

The Idaho City District was discovered in 1862 and quickly became one of the richest placer and lode gold districts in the Pacific Northwest. At its peak, Idaho City was the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, with a population exceeding 20,000. The district has produced an estimated $250 million in gold (at historic prices) from both placer and lode operations.

The district's lode deposits consist of quartz veins in granite and metamorphic rocks, with free-milling gold that is easily recoverable by gravity methods. Modern exploration continues to identify new targets within the established mineralized trends, and the area remains popular with recreational and small-scale miners.

The Boulder #2 & #3 claims sit within this proven mineralized corridor, offering both the security of a historic district and the upside of underexplored ground.
