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.

UK-2
Property Upstream
from Interstate 5

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

The lower boundary is located 100 feet upstream from where the north-bound Interstate 5 bridge crosses the Klamath River. The upper boundary is located ½-mile upstream on Klamathon Road. Watch for a red-painted post along the side of the road. There is a river access point 2/10th of a mile further up the road, which switches back down river and reaches the water a few hundred feet upstream from this claim’s upper boundary.

While there is some room for some camping further up river (on both sides of the road near the old miners cabin), please be very careful to not block or inhibit the use by others of this river access, or the Klamathon Road.

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.

There is a large pull-off area on this property just upstream from Interstate 5. While day-parking of cars or pick-up trucks (not RV’s) is alright there, camping is not allowed. This is one of our agreements with the land owner who has given Club members permission to mine on this property. If you must camp somewhere for a night while planning your next move, we suggest you go over to the rest area. Let’s please not betray our agreement with the land owner who is allowing us to mine, but not camp, on this property!

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. We recently did a Dredging Project near the lower boundary and recovered 3.9 ounces of gold in just several days of dredging. Several other members recovered 6 ounces of gold near the upper boundary in just several days of dredging. So, we went back and found more high-grade gold during another group dredging project. Most of the property has yet to be sampled. Look for the hard-packed gray layer either on bedrock or on top of a very hard layer of cemented gravel. The property caretaker says that several miners did a little dredging on the west side of the river (Interstate 5 side) towards the lower end of the claim, and they were recovering nuggets as large as ¼-ounce in size.
