The Gold Forest is an undocumented mineral property located in the Manhattan mining district of northern Colorado.
Featuring multiple inclined mine shafts, prospect cuts and ore reserves from the early 1900’s.
With stunning views of the nearby mountain ranges and beautiful surrounding forests, this secluded location holds excellent potential.
Mining in the district began in the late 1890's, rich deposits containing up to 18 ounces per-ton caused a rapid migration of over 300 prospectors and families. Mining declined after a flood disaster destroyed the stamp mill in Rustic Colorado, as well as high ore transportation costs of the era to Denver mills.
Intermittent mining has taken place during the 1920's through the 1980's on privately held mines.
The primary mine workings consist of two incline drift shafts driven at about 50 degrees into a highly mineralized quartz outcropping.
The drifts appear to extend nearly 300’ into the mountain side based upon the primary mine dump.
Underground workings will require overburden and backfill removal for further exploration and sampling.
Primary mine spills are available near the shaft portals.
An estimated 2500 tons of visible ore dump is available on the property.
Ore material is comprised of heavily mineralized quartz with auriferous pyrites( Gold ore), Galena(Silver ore) and trace base metals.
Maintained dirt roads provide excellent access to this site.
Parking and camping areas are available for multiple vehicles or campers.
The secluded area is located within a fifteen minute drive of Red Feather lakes, Colorado and 1 hour from Ft. Collins, Colorado.
A perfect location for the beginning enthusiast up to an established mining company.
