The Wild Rose Mine is a documented mineral property located in the McClellan Gulch mining district of Lewis and Clark County, Montana.
Previously known as the Black Watch Mine, the property Features eighty acres of a placer deposit known for course nugget-type Gold, as well as dual underground mine adits that were driven on a quartz lode source, and a secluded location with excellent access.
Originally located in 1864, the McClellan Gulch district quickly became a well-known placer deposit, drawing hundreds of prospectors to the area. Gold is primarily located in the form of grain-size nuggets with little to no flower Gold.
Nuggets the size of wheat grains or larger are assayed at about 870 fine. In 1870, a single pan was said to hold $500.00 in Gold.
In 1927 A.J. Wood and Fred Meade located a large nugget weighing in at fifty-seven ounces.
This location provides a perfect opportunity to utilize modern technology for enhanced Gold recovery in the placer deposits as well as the lode source deposits.
Dual staging areas are located off a well-maintained forest service road.
The secluded area topography masks the camp and its workings from road views.
A perfect location for an established mining company or a beginning enthusiast with high return expectations.

- The primary placer deposit consists of auriferous gravel beds surrounding Fields Gulch Creek. Source deposits are quartz lode veins near the head of the Gulch.
- Estimated Gold values are 0.5 grams-to-3.7 grams Au per yard.
- Gold concentrations are favorable in the Blue/Black clay layer below the gravels, as well as on bedrock.
- The highest paying gravels are noted at 30'.
- The Primary Lode deposit consists of a mineralized quartz vein encompassed in Newland-limestone host rock.
- Workings consist of two caved adits driven into a SE trending deposit, with estimated drifting on a single level.
- Underground workings will require some excavation and timbered bracing for continued exploration and development.
As no mill site was located during the initial survey, only high-grade material is estimated to have shipped during early production, leaving lower-grade materials in the mine spill.
Multiple sorted piles of high-grade ore rest are available near the ore hopper. - Estimated ore available ore grades are 0.27-1.5 OPT Au, with 1.2-17.00 OPT Ag.
- Zinc and Iron are also present in various amounts.
- Free milling Gold is available in the contact zones of altered mineral-vein material and host rock.
This location provides a perfect opportunity to utilize modern technology for enhanced Gold recovery in the placer deposits as well as the lode source deposits.
Dual staging areas are located off a well-maintained forest service road.
The secluded area topography masks the camp and its workings from road views.
- Access to the area is available to most 2wd and any 4x4 vehicle.
- Parking and staging area is suitable for multiple vehicles and campers
