Summary
This is one of the largest, contiguous, historically rich gold mines for sale. It has everything a discerning buyer wants: a historically rich deposit and abundant water.
This is a deposit famous for not only its richness, but also for the abundance of jewelry grade specimen gold and nuggets found here. For the first time in its history, this deposit now has the water needed to finally mine it. The previous lack of water to mine meant that almost this entire mine is virgin ground.
The Ownership group spent millions on assembling these world-class claims, drilling wells, testing the site, etc.
