Important Note About Dredge Density Levels

DREDGE DENSITY LEVELS: No more than 10 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed along the Klamath River. No more than 8 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed along the Scott and Salmon Rivers. No more than 3 dredges per mile of Club claims are allowed on Elk, Indian and Thompson Creeks. Dredges are permitted on a first come, first served basis, but they must be operated to maintain a position along our claims.

Property Near Colliers Rest Stop

IMPORTANT: No dredging or mining activity is allowed within 100 feet of the three bridges which cross the Klamath River along these properties.

This property is located along the Klamath River in the area where it flows past the Colliers Rest Stop. The upper boundary is located 100 feet downstream from the lowest of 3 bridges which cross the Klamath River in this area. The lower boundary is located at Hwy 96 mile marker 105.28, very near to the 30 MPH sign down on the bend.

We do not have any of our own signs posted along this property, because the land is privately owned, and Club members have been given permission to mine there.

While water and toilets are available in the rest area, you cannot move into the rest area to support your mining operation along the river there. There is not an RV dump station in the rest area. Please do not launch dredges or other mining equipment from the rest area. You must accomplish this from the Hwy 96 side of the river. Please do not climb the fence (rest stop) to gain access to the river!

Generally, there is reasonable access to the river from the Hwy 96 side. While some access may be easier from the rest area, if members begin launching equipment from there, or start climbing the fences, we will be forced to withdraw this property from Club use. Please cooperate!

PROSPECTS: This section of the river has an exceptional amount of fine and flake gold in a shallow flood layer, on top of an older layer of cemented gravel. There has been some sporadic dredging activity over the years, almost exclusively along the east side of the river (rest stop side). To locate places which have never been previously mined, look for gray hard-packed material towards the surface. There are confirmed gold nuggets being recovered off the Hwy 96 side of the river, although very little dredging has been done on that side so far.
