The Avalanche Creek Placer #2 is a documented mineral property located in the Hellgate Mining district of central Montana.
Featuring over 1300 feet of Gold bearing Creek, a secluded staging area, and excellent access.
Boasting a rich history of Gold production since the 1880s, the mining district shares similar deposits and mineral concentrations to the nearby Confederate Gulch district.
Known for larger nuggets and plentiful flower grades, both districts continue to produce excellent-quality Gold.
Original production on the site is estimated to have begun around the early 1900s, consisting of deep drift shafts, and open cuts along the upper terrace of the creek.
During the 1980s a series of trenches and shallow shafts were driven alongside the creek edge on the originally sixty-acre mine.
Several large tailings piles are present near the surface cuts and along the Creekside.
Ranging from an estimated five yards to fifty yards each, the tailings piles consist of mineralized and iron-stained gravels.
Gold concentrations in the area are estimated at 0.10-to-1.25 grams per yard, with larger amounts estimated on bedrock.
The site is perfect for a small-scale high banking or sluicing operation.
The dense forest lands of the mountain gulch feature abundant wildlife, timber resources, and water.
A serene timbered camping area is located in the Gulch on the east portion of the claim boundaries.
Staging areas are available to multiple vehicles and campers, with level parking.
Located off a well-maintained dirt road with excellent access for most 2wd vehicles and all 4x4.
The parking and staging area is suitable for multiple vehicles and campers.
The elevation of the mining claim is 4998' feet above sea level.
A perfect location for the beginning enthusiast up to an established mining company.

Ranging from an estimated five yards to fifty yards each, the tailings piles consist of mineralized and iron-stained gravels.
- The primary workings of the mine consist of upper terrace gravel surface cuts, creek-level sluicing sites, and bedrock outcroppings.
Gold concentrations in the area are estimated at 0.10-to-1.25 grams per yard, with larger amounts estimated on bedrock.
- Secondary deposits consist of fine flood Gold, trapped in the base gravels and low-pressure zones of the creek.
