POINT BAR gold placer claim for sale, Location...location...location... Options

[ASTROBLEME]

Hello members and visitors;

My family is selling our gold mining claims that are on the Arkansas River in an effort to direct more time to working our diamond mines west of Fort Collins. This offer is for the POINT BAR PLACER mining claim. It surrounds the public "Point Barr" recreational area that is a very popular recreational prospecting site being published in GPAA, BLM and many other prospecting venues.

I was born downstream of this deposit and grew up prospecting the Arkansas River between Salida and Canon City, Colorado. There is a very rich history of this area and my family shares my passion for mining. I remember a couple of guys that worked the open public lands when gold was $35 per troy ounce. They spent their summers fishing and mining and said they paid for their college tuition. Even to this day, LOTS of people still work the gravels near our POINT BAR in the public mining areas.

As a teen, I was interested in what created the swirling whirlpool holes that were bored into bedrock in that area. The holes are numerous and those that were very deep and had some filling from trash by the visiting public along with a sampling of the area's wildlife that got trapped. The pop bottles down hole had a good deposit value but the snakes freaked me out! But now I know how those holes can trap gold and I've tried to get to the bottom of my first target, but I still haven't cleared that pothole. There are many other potholes that haven't even been started to be worked on.

We are asking $20,000.00 US funds. This sales offer is valid through midnight May 1st, 2017.

Everyone,

The issue of purchasing this claim so close to the date for the assessment work required to be performed under 30 U.S.C. Sec. 28 along with a statement that it is the intention of the owner to hold the claim, and along with claim maintenance fees to be paid on or before September 1, 2017 as required by the Department of Interior is a concern.

Please understand that we have worked with previous parties that purchased the Rapid Placer Claim, the Red Rocks #1 and #2 mining claims along with the state, county and federal agencies to meet the requirements to transfer the claim(s) in a timely manner.

We will also work with the buyers to assure proper transfer of ownership if the deal can be settled by the closing date.

Sincerely,

Johnny Tonko
