The Ruby Creek Placer #2 is a documented mineral property located in the pioneer mining district of western Montana.
Featuring over 950 feet of annually flowing creek, alluvial Gold deposits, and a secluded location in a breathtaking mountain valley.
Originally located in the late 1890s, the Gold deposits on Ruby Creek were mined from the Gravel bars, upper bench deposits, and bedrock outcroppings.
The district experienced brief work during the 1920s -through the beginning of World War II.
The district experienced a revival in the early 1980s, with placer operations on the nearby "Towner Placer" and the "Gold Nugget" operation further north.
Primary workings consist of shallow pits and hand-dug trenches alongside the creek edge, production consisted of small rocker boxes and sluicing operations in the 1920s.
Local Gold is in the form of course flakes and fine dust, as eroded from the nearby lode outcroppings on the state divide. Larger nugget-sized Gold had been reported from past operations in the area.
This secluded mining parcel is an excellent opportunity for the smaller-scale mining operation to utilize modern equipment for exponential Gold yields.
A large parking and staging area is located adjacent to the Creekside workings, near the shade of the pine forest.
Suitable for any vehicle type, with level areas available for campers.
The highly secluded location is located about 35 minutes from Wisdom Montana, and 1.25 hours southwest of Butte Montana.
Available to the beginning enthusiast up to an established mining company.
