I'm sure there is a market for heavy eq operators and mechanics.
If you actually wanna go up there and make some money you better have millions in equipment geo studies and land. |

Watch some of the shows. It would seem to be far more difficult than you think. It takes time to negotiate land leases and that doesn't mean your permits go through. This doesn't account for equipment and machinery, lodging, food, fuel, etc. Tons of startup costs. Sure, you could get investors, but who's likely to give a shit-ton of capital to "All you young whipper snappers"?

Really didn't know that. I thought you could still find sections worth mining that you could stake a claim that is not privately owned . Might be hard to get any type of heavy equipment in but you could still access it with portable small sluices . You're not going to make millions but gold at 2k an ounce ? maybe you can have a good 6 months |

You can see the rookie crews from the lower 48 going up there getting wrecked season after season only continuing because they are on discovery channel and the kid that was out there mining as soon as he was out of his diaper who still got screwed by permits and competition. I imagine there are actually some more mineral rich areas but your options for extraction will rely on what can fit in a bush plane since you probably won't be able to build a road. |

Americans can't just show up in Canada and go to work. Gold claims are expensive, cheap claims are a false economy. Gas in Dawson is probably $15.00 a gallon today, groceries equally$$. But the Klondike gold fields are some of the best in the world. South of there, around Atlin B.C. there is good gold, but with the same associated costs.
When I was a kid; growing up there it was always said you could make wages pretty much anywhere. A pick and shovel type of claim. You could put food on the table. Backbreaking work though. |

If I weren't married and didn't have a business I'd try to get a heavy equipment operator job up there. I've watched the shows and could 100% run circles around most of the operators they had. I'd do it for a retirement gig but I think my wife might take issue with that
.How that Tony Beets guy hasn't been disappeared by someone after all these years of being an asshole is beyond me. Everytime he'd come on the show I was hoping someone would break his jaw. |

There is a gold mining museum there now, when I was a kid I went in one mine but they are all closed off now. The mining in my area predates the larger rush in Dahlonega, GA - the saying, "There's gold in them thar hills" originated here after more gold was discovered in North GA. Actually the discovery of gold well into the Cherokee nation was one of the reasons the Indians were driven off their land. |
