Tule Canyon Placers

Historical Record

Tule Canyon Placers was a 20-acre unpatented placer claim in Esmeralda County, Nevada. This claim offered dry wash gold potential in the historic Tule Canyon district.

The Tule Canyon Placers is a multi-ore, past producing placer mining claim, measuring 80 acres, located in Western Nevada, just outside the famous mining ghost town of Gold Point, NV.Riding the Walker Lane, this spot's enhanced permeability means high geothermal activity -richgold territory!

The claim is perfect for dry-washing! A dry riverbed, with tributaries from deeper within the Canyon, over 3,750+ft long and averaging 16ft deep to bedrock finds itself on the claim; a dry-washer's dream. What's more, the once-flowing river straddled the contact zone between Tule Canyon and Magruder Mountain, where higher pressures below the surface produced the perfect conditions for gold formation. Further upstream, the Los Angeles Rock and Gravel Co. performed extensive work for years which flowed down the dry river bed. You can still find the relics of the Los Angeles Rock and Gravel Co. nearby...

Directly to the South of the claim, fellow prospectors atSilver Range Resourcesworking in Tule Canyon found grab samples yieldingupwards of 37.3g/t of goldin the early Spring of 2023, with theaverage running 18.5g/t of gold. Further,extremely high levels of silvercan be found:highs of 5,090g/t of silverin some spots, with1,370.8g/t on average. The gold is coarse and is often found in its quartz matrix.
