McGrath, AK 99627(Yukon Koyukuk Borough)

With a rich history of gold mining in this area dating back to 1917, the Alamin Mining Corporation acquired or leased these mining claims forming the Cripple Creek Gold Mine in the early 1980s. Before that time, some of the claims had been mined by various miners, including Willard Tex Gates and his son-in-law Dennis Gould. Cripple Creek Mine has been extensively explored and tested, revealing substantial reserves with overburden depths ranging from 8-15 feet. The seller has drilling information on about 25% of the claims.
