THE KLONDIKE

The Klondike represents the ultimate test for any prospector. Extreme temperatures, permafrost, and a history of legendary fortunes found in the frozen muck.

Geological Foundation

"The Klondike is unique because it was never glaciated. While other regions had gravels scraped away by ice, the Klondike's White Channel gravels have sat undisturbed for millions of years, allowing gold to reach incredible concentrations."

Extraction Intel

Gold is often trapped in permafrost. Recreational panners should focus on the Bonanza Creek Discovery Site during the summer thaw (June-Sept). Water rights are strictly managed by the Yukon Placer Secretariat.

Tactical Targets

Legendary Yukon Goldfields

Bonanza Creek

"Where it all started in 1896. Still producing significant placer gold for modern claim holders."

Eldorado Creek

"The richest creek in the Yukon. Known for high-grade gold concentrations in the deep valley gravels."

Dawson City

"The gateway to the goldfields. A historic town that feels like 1898, but with modern prospecting support."

Short Seasons

"You only have ~100 days of ice-free water. When the freeze hits, pans go away and winter works begin—stripping overburden for next season."

Water Protocol

"Yukon mining is strictly regulated by the Yukon Placer Secretariat. You must have a water use license for anything beyond simple hand-panning."

EQUITY HEDGE

"The Klondike built Dawson City and fueled a nation. Hedge the volatility of the frozen north with institutional bullion or miners."
