Gold dredging operation on North Fork of FortyMile river in Alaska

All 10 claims are availible to be leased
You'll be able to work almost anywhere on any of the claims.(as long as you don't fog me out)
I will give you my opinion on what has already been done and where the best spots are but, you would be free to select your own location to dredge
If you lease these claims you'll need your own dredge, camp supplies, fuel, etc as well as transportation on the river to get to and from the claims.
You will need to follow all BLM and State regulations. (Contact me for details on this one)
Basicly you do it all and only pay me a percentage of your finds.
Because of the rich history of these claims the percentage is 20%
There "may" also be a one time only fee to get you listed on my APMA permit.
The amount of this one time APMA fee will depend on the dredge you want to use.(Contact me for details)
