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!

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.

The most recent gold mining activity near Fairplay is netting that owner 20% of the gold found on his claim. Following that percentage, a buyer for the Tonko #1 should be willing to negotiate for a multi-million dollar deal.

In 2001, the Colorado Geological Survey published this information in their Resource Series 40. I've highlighted the section referencing the gold ore reserves in yellow.

For further consideration in this matter, the "Misantoni" that is quoted by the Colorado Geological Survey publication above is Mr. Dean Misantoni, PG. He is presently the Qualified Professional overseeing geology and development of mineral and water resources at London Mine. That is the mining property that is adjacent to the gold ore that is stockpiled on Tonko #1 Placer Mining Claim. Here's a link...

please see table of bulk sampling results from Behre Dolbear report-
note that the 172,000t east extension waste dump (= Tonko claim) is too low grade (0.055 opt Au) to have made the > 0.10 opt Au
cutoff I state in the other report of mine he posted. It is not part of that reserve. The gold recoveries on ore below 0.1 opt Au go below 50%

That is the same out-of-date information that your group attempted to use for driving down the value of the mining claim lease they were offering me last September.

Having owned and worked on this claim since February of 2003, I certainly have much newer information.

Thank you Denise. My family certainly appreciates your concerns for fairness in this community.

Sincerely,

Johnny Tonko

I had some requests for pics so I'm sharing them here.

Here's a photo looking west towards the distant London Mine property from about midway along the top of the stockpile.

This is a view looking down at the ore while standing there on top of the stockpile.

A view looking down from the top of the stockpile. My white 4X4 Titan is parked on the claim where Park County Road 696 meets up with USFS Road 696. Park County does road maintenance up to this junction.

As you can see, this is a very large stockpile! I've only been told recently by the adjacent mine interests that this is the 172,000 ton pile mentioned in the report above. At this point, I'm not convinced that interpretation is correct. To me, the stockpile looks much larger than what's being rumored.

Please continue to contact me at the link below.

Sincerely,

Johnny Tonko, President of Tonko Mining Company, Inc.

Fairness means that all have input, and can be heard. Not that people are chastised or silenced when contradicting information or opinions are presented. Good luck with your attempt to sell, but honestly I chuckled at your notion of the valuation.
