Mining Claims for Sale

Since the before the Americas were "discovered" by Columbus, the continent has been a rich source of gold and precious metals. It is a well-documented fact that mining has made more millionaires than any other industry in the world. Its not easy, and there are no guarantees, but gold is where you find it, and when you find it, you may be the next millionaire to be created by mining. That leaves the question, how do you find a good mine and a mining claim and how do you keep it?

What to look for when buying a claim:

• Intent in Sale:
  • Why is the claim for sale? What prompted them to want to move it? There are a lot of scam companies out there that are working on dumping old junk that has been passed down to them or that they somehow came across. No one gives away money, period.
• Location:
  • Where is the claim? Do you really want a site that everyone and their dog has been to, something that every casual hiker walks into? If there is a good road to it, its seen traffic. Plain and simple.
• Condition:
  • What does the property look like in the dead of winter? How about the dog days of summer? Is it full of water 50 feet in? What are the walls and cielings like?
• History of Company and Sales:
  • Mines and Mining claims are a very targeted market. Knowledge and experience is key. Did the claim seller just pop up and start selling claims because they think they can make a quick buck?
• Mine History and Current Documentation:
  • Is there any history behind your mine? Who worked it, when? Also, what does it look like inside? Any good miner will have a map of his mine.

Things to steer away from:

• Proven Reserves:
  • A "proven reserve" is a proven failure. It means that at some point, a mining company came in, took samples and then determined that it would cost far more to extract that the ore was worth. Otherwise the mine would be worked. This is simple logic but a ploy used by some to bait people into a high price point.
• Placer Claims:
  • Placer claims are difficult. Most any placer site you find is going to require extensive excavation to find anything. It slow, its boring and its tedious. Additionally the returns are not very impressive. The largest mines in the world are not based off of hoping some nuggets settled in a river bed. Its going after the vein, the source of the metal.
• Free Permits or services:
  • As with everything, you get what you pay for. No one writes permits except for the BLM. Having someone profess they can write a permit for you is like saying that they can get your drivers license for you. Especially if the company offering the services has been unsuccessful in filing their own permits to work an established mine. (ie, Eureka Mining Inc. or Blue Lead Mine LLC??)
• Lack of documentation:
  • Documentation is vital. If your documents are wrong, your claim is not valid. Do you know how to write up all of your documents correctly and file them with the appropriate people? Probably not. This is something that a good claim company will do for you, cradle to grave.
• Geologists selling claims:
  • Geologists are possibly the worst people to buy from. There has never been a geologist that has gotten rich from mining. A geologist looks at what has happened before and tells you about it. Gold is where you find it, always has been, always will be. Geologist claims usually tend to be worked out, over-hyped mines that they read about in a book. And they arent selling them because they are full of gold. They have reviewed, assessed and determined that its not worth working.
• Mining Companies and Personal Claims:
  • Consider that a mining company exists to make money from mining. If they are selling a mine, what does that tell you? Also, personal claims, again, use your logic, who is selling, why and what is the benefit to you.

 

Information is key, the more the better. Additionally,  exploration and extraction techniques of today are so much better than when these mines were discovered and originally worked. Search through our inventory; find a site that speaks to you. Get the information on it, then work it.

 

We hold claims all over the west, with the exception of California (and you don't want to mine there anyway). Oregon, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming. Our experienced teams of Abandoned Mine Surveyors have examined, mapped and staked these claims, giving you current and up to date information you can rely on.

 

A mining claim is a tangible asset. It can be sold, traded or used as collateral. It is an asset recognized by the State and Federal governments.

 

The next step, putting you on your mine.

We have worked very hard to make this process as simple as possible. No one wants a hassle, you just want your claim, done correctly, in hand. Our Mine Surveyors have examined, mapped and staked the claims. Their information is combined with the proper documentation and these claims are ready to be transferred to you.

When you find the claim you want, it should be as simple as simple point and click. We also offer in house financing. No credit checks and terms up to 12 months, on most sites to make them attainable for everyone.
