![]() ![]() We bought it in 1992 from the man that had staked the claims in 1973 and had made his entire living from about 4 claims for all those years. 12 to 14 of the claims have not been mined by heavy machinery as far as I know and probably still need to be mined. This property is made up of 24 claims, upstream from where the original 1896 discovery was made. The enterprising gentleman we got the claims from, snow shoed 11 kilometers up Bonanza Creek in March of 1973, to stake these claims! The confluence of Ready Bullion and Upper Bonanza has been held by private ownership since 1973. Mining property had little value through the mid 1900s because the United States had held gold at $35 per ounce for many years, even though this property is in Canada, the US freeze on the gold price had its effect on worldwide gold prices. Dawson it’s self, could only be reached in the summer, by river boat until 1957. There was only a cat trail that lead over the hills from the other side of the divide. The dam had been fairly effective at keeping the property inaccessible and un-mined. The upper Bonanza Dam was built in 1907 downstream a few miles, until it washed out in 1960. ![]() The Ready Bullion property is very special property-virtually inaccessible form the early 1900s until the 1960s. I have only been to Dawson in the summer and as late as October, I have never seen it so cold before! I didn’t think we could see much, but I agreed to go show them the property.

Because of the uniqueness of this property and now, how easy it is to get to Dawson, I have been asking for some cash up front for a lease, or a cash sale. Todd and Jack Hoffman and others have been interested in this property for quite a while. I now have a water license! This covers all the permits to start mining!
