NOTICE:
Due to the high grade nature of the gold ore stockpiled on this claim,the area is patrolled and monitored. This Federal Mining Claim is located, recorded, and maintained in accordance with 43 C.F.R. Part 3800 and 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.; 43 U.S.C. 1744 and all appropriate state laws. All persons are warned that disturbance of the monuments, surface, or improvements on this claim or removal of minerals of any type without permission of the claimant(s), will result in their prosecution under the appropriate state and federal statutes. HISTORY: The London Mine Group was developed on pollymetallic quartz veins associated with the Great London Fault. According to documentation by Singewald and Butler (1941) the ore mined between 1895 and 1910 averaged 2.895 opt gold, 2.858 opt silver, 4.13 % lead, 2.66 % zinc, 4.85 % iron, 6.11 % sulfur, and 76.8 % silicon. The most recent reports published by the Colorado Geological Survey state that remaining mine and stockpile resources range from 0.10 to 0.41 opt gold having a weighted average of 0.19 opt gold. Most of the Tonko #1 CMC289770 mining claim was formerly known as the Jewett #1 CMC94664 and the Jewett #2 CMC94665 mining claims that were held by London Mine Venture from 1935 through 1991. The stockpile on Tonko #1 was estimated by Behre Dolbear & Company, Inc. in a report dated March of 1985 to contain 172,000 tons of gold ore! MINING CLAIM MAP: GOOGLE EARTH VIEW OF CLAIM: HIGH GRADE SORTING OF ORE: This photo shows the limited number of employees hand sorting out the exceptionally high grade ore being transported from the mine. Only the highest grades of visible gold ore were hand picked off of the conveyor belt and shipped out for processing. The mine had taken out all processing equipment after World War I due to high taxation. The gold ore stockpile was created by using a small mining train that traveled about 1/4 mile uphill from the sorting facility and dumped along the mountainside for future processing. The round-trip for stockpiling was about 1/2 mile and the volume of ore that was stored now looms over the local area. Since the hand sorting crew wore thick gloves and the speed of the conveyor belt moved exceptional specimens right past the sorting crew, substantial volumes of exceptionally high grade ore was subsequently transported out to the stockpile.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE:
The asking price for this 60 acre placer mining claim is $2,459,600.00 (Two Million, Four Hundred Fifty-Nine Thousand, Six Hundred U.S. Dollars). With gold being presently valued at approximately $1,300 per troy ounce, and considering local claim owner's leasing rates now averaging 20%, our asking price was calculated based on the 9,460 troy ounces of gold contained in the stockpile as reported in March 1985 by the Behre Dolbear & Company "Feasibility Analysis of the London Mine". That is the report that was submitted by Dean Misantoni, Certified Professional Geologist (CPG #11276), earlier in this thread. In addition, silver, copper, zinc and lead in the stockpile ores...along with all the virgin gravel placer lands also existing on this claim...will be included at this price. Some of these substantial virgin gold placer grounds are easily identified by the "rounded boulders" observed in place (alongside the road intersections and below the stockpile) in the last photo below. Non-consumptive use water could be sourced for mining purposes where South Mosquito Creek flows across the southeast part of the claim. Due to the high grade nature of the gold ore stockpiled on this claim,the area is patrolled and monitored. This Federal Mining Claim is located, recorded, and maintained in accordance with 43 C.F.R. Part 3800 and 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.; 43 U.S.C. 1744 and all appropriate state laws. All persons are warned that disturbance of the monuments, surface, or improvements on this claim or removal of minerals of any type without permission of the claimant(s), will result in their prosecution under the appropriate state and federal statutes. When visiting the vicinity, my family would appreciate your respect for our ownership interests and that of the adjacent mine owners. Public access roadways to the claim are depicted by the red marked route on the attached map. If an on-site inspection or any sampling of this mining claim is desired, that must be arranged in advance by contacting me directly at; Johnny Tonko, President of Tonko Mining Company Inc. Park County Road 696 is maintained year-round and there is a wide parking area right before the intersection with the private London Mine Road and USFS Road 696. The high grade stockpile is visible from Colorado State Highway 9 at the Mosquito Gulch Road near Alma. That is also known as Park County Road 12 and it passes through the famous South Park City and then meets up with Park County Road 696 about 5 miles west of State Highway 9. I've posted photos of the area below. Sincerely, ASTROBLEME -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008
