Most of the very high grade specimens have already been removed using modern hand held metal detectors. Even so, the stockpile has only been worked from the flat top and only detected to a depth of 18 " or so.

ASKING PRICE UPDATE
We've had to rescinded our asking price for the gold stockpile at London Mountain due to the significant increases in gold value, consideration for the tremendous reduction in fuel costs for transport to mills and the recent uptick in responses for this sale offering. Our asking price is now based upon real-time market conditions.

In 1938, there was a nugget mined from the Bulger Placer that weighed almost 1 troy pound. More recently, the Turtle Nugget (7.8 troy ounces) was found with a metal detector in the same placer. The source of these large specimens is only 1 1/2 miles southeast of the Tonko Stockpile.

Everyone,
I hope you'll find the attached report helpful as it details the geology, mining history and tenor of the ores being mined in the vicinity of the London Fault at a time when the high grade stockpile was being put into place by hand sorting ores from London Mine. The London Mine research begins on page 44 of 93... but the entire document reveals the significance of precious and base metal resources in the area.
