Sierra Gold Placer Mountain

Historical Record

Sierra Gold Placer Mountain was a 20-acre unpatented placer claim in Sierra County, California. Located in the heart of California's Gold Country, this claim offered placer gold potential in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

The "Sierra Gold" is a past producing placer mountain mining claim, measuring 20 acres, found in the North Yuba River area of the Tahoe National Forest.Camp, fish, and gold-pan around Salmon Creek, a small gold-bearing river that flows from the beautiful Upper and Lower Salmon Lakes, only a short hike from the claim! The claim is tucked away in the old-growth pines and surrounded by natural alpine water, with the large, well-stocked Gold Lake a short drive North.

The Sierra Gold claim finds itself downriver from the old Lone Wolf Group mines, mines that were assaying hundreds of dollars worth of gold in 1942. Eight decades of winter and weather have worn the hard rock of those mines down and have put their valuable ores the only place they can go: the Salmon Creek.

Gold Lake Highway is located only a few hundred feet from the claim, and Sierra City with all its amenities is a short 15 minute drive South, making getting there and staying there as easy as pie.
