North Meadow Creek Gold #9
Unpatented Montana Gold Claim
Find Gold and Gems on this Picturesque Montana Gold Claim!
Two hour's drive from Yellowstone National Park, the North Meadow Creek (NMC) Gold #9 claim is found capturing all the gold in the valley leading up to the foot of the beautiful Tobacco Root Mountains! Downstream from past producers like the Kidd Mine with high-grade gold and silver ores, this mountain river placer profits from the natural erosion of an entire mountain's worth of minerals down into its river waters!
Capturing the rain and snow run-off from mountains where the Kidd Mine, the Frisbee Mine, and the New Deal Mine all sit, the North Meadow Creek Gold #9 claim captures all the treasures further up the mountain! From the Kidd Mountain flows native gold and silver, but also copper-rich and colorful "peacock ore" bornite, and the fiery-orange "ruby blend" sphalerite. Once the gold-laden ores flow past the NMC Gold #9 claim, they continue nearly 12.5 miles downstream onto patented placer grounds like the Cibola VIII and the North Meadow Creek Placers, before they finally tumble and become lost to the depths of Ennis Lake. The NMC Gold #9 acts as the gateway between what comes down the mountain and what'll be left to fall downstream!
Below the surface, the NMC Gold #9 finds itself just downstream of several large granitic and gneissic contact zones the Kidd and other mines in the local valley benefit from. With the North Meadow Creek cutting through the valley right on a main fault between the two major geologic formations, the river could easily pick-up unseen minerals from veins hiding under and around the river itself!
But if the gold isn't easy coming some days, there's plenty to do around the NMC Gold #9 claim. Trout are known to be in the river and local lakes. Hiking and camping near and around the claim is a popular activity for many visitors to the Tobacco Root Mountains, and there are plenty of good, tucked-away spots to camp on the claim itself!
Accessibility isn't an issue on this claim. Minus the need to have a vehicle that can handle well-maintained dirt roads, the North Meadow Creek is mere feet from the road. Because of dense vegetation in spots closest to the river, it is recommended to clear a path for equipment larger than your hands and pans.
Here are the features of the "North Meadow Creek Gold #9" claims at a glance:
- The Gateway of the Mountains - There's only one way down for the minerals tossed off the mountains surrounding the North Meadow Creek, and that's straight in the water of the creek! Feeding placers downstream, the NMC #9 is the gateway through which all the mountain's riches flow - unless you capture them!
- Many Treasures - In addition to the native gold and silver found rolling down the river, beautiful bornite ores, sphalerite gems, quartz specimens, sparkly galena, and even illusive palladium and platinum can be found!
- Fractured Ground - In a geological hotbed for volcanic and hydrothermal intrusions, the land surrounding and leading to these placer grounds are known breeding grounds for gold and silver. With a river cutting a path down the main fault and many tributaries from the mountains leading right back to the North Meadow Creek, the NMC Gold #9 is in the perfect spot to find gold and other treasures!
- Historical Gold Territory - High-grade ore producers like the Kidd Mine and the New Deal Mine sit a mere 2.5 miles upstream from the NMC Gold #9, but dozens of active and abandoned mines lines these rich mountains for miles and miles more. You need not look far to find gold around these parts!
- Perfect for Outdoorsmen - Next door to several high mountain lakes stocked with trout (some of which flow down your river!), this private little mountain retreat is the perfect get-away in the scenic Tobacco Mountains. Get grounded with the natural beauty found in Montana's flora and fauna!
- Close to Yellowstone National Park - A two-hour's drive from Yellowstone National Park, this little claim in the mountains can act as a home base for those who want to explore beyond the perimeter of the claim and the Tobacco Root Mountains!
- High Accessibility - With the river of the North Meadow Creek found right next to North Meadow Creek Road, the NMC Gold #9 is easy to access for a visit. Just drive up and start panning!
