Commercial Status

COMMERCIAL STATUS: All dredges with hose sizes larger than 6 inches in diameter are automatically classified as commercial, and are required to pay The New 49'ers a 10% royalty of their gold recovery, regardless of how much or little they are finding. This 10% royalty is paid on a weekly basis. Operating commercial equipment on our properties requires special permission from management and involves a special commercial contract. The contract is available by contacting our office.

All dredges 6 inches (hose size) and smaller are permitted on all New 49'er mining properties, and are allowed to keep all the gold that you can find with them.
