Gold Mining Alaska Recreational PHOTO BY GRANT EATON Recreational Gold Panning in Alaska The lure of gold brought miners to Alaska over 100 years ago, and it continues to this day. Gold prospecting is a fun way to spend some time outdoors trying to strike it rich! Most public lands in Alaska offer recreational gold panning and prospecting, although there are restrictions. Please note that this guide focuses on recreational gold mining on designated public lands. Designated Panning Areas There are many designated public recreation mining areas within Alaska that are open to gold panning and small-scale mining. There are some restrictions, but generally, this is where it’s best to go if you are looking to try your hand at gold mining without applying for permits and getting into the “nitty gritty” of it all. You must be aware of the regulations associated with the land you are prospecting so that you do not trespass, infringe, or violate any regulations.

McKinley NP (inside Denali NP/P), and former Katmai NM Equipment You don’t have to start out rich to try your hand at gold prospecting. The equipment is simple and does not require a large investment. The only thing you truly need is a gold pan (metal or plastic with riffles); 14” size is best for everyone. The following items are suggestions of extra gear/equipment: • shovel or spade to loosen gravel from creek bottom (cannot be used when panning for gold in national park units) • grizzly pan with 1/2-inch holes in bottom; this pan helps separate coarse gravel, speeding up the panning process • sluice box (cannot be used when panning for gold in national park units) • tweezers for picking up gold flakes and dust (a dry finger will also work) • rubber boots and gloves to stay warm while working in the cold water • small vial or container to hold collected gold Filing a Claim If you would like to file a mining claim, it can be done through the Bureau of Land Management or the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, depending on if the parcel is on federal or state land, respectively. It’s not easy determining which areas of land are public and which are private; a majority of the time there isn’t a boundary line defining the edge of said places. Designated panning areas are outlined in this guide. If you are looking to dig deeper, so to say, and try your hand at a more serious approach, it is best to talk with the land managing agency for the area that you wish to prospect. To ensure the status of a particular area in Alaska, to check whether it is open to mineral entry, and to see if there are other legal mining claims in the area, check with either the Bureau of Land Management or the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. These two land management agencies maintain the most up to date maps and information on land status. If you know where you want to gold pan/mine, it is very helpful to have the exact location of the plot that you would like to explore.

  • Chugach National Forest Planning Area and the Three Different Geographic Areas of the National Forest
    Chapter 2 Ecological Conditions and Trends Chapter 2 Ecological Conditions and Trends Introduction Chapter 1 described the Chugach National Forest planning area and the three different geographic areas of the national forest. This chapter describes the overall ecological integrity of the area. Ecological integrity for this assessment is defined as: “The quality or condition of an ecosystem when its dominant ecological characteristics (for example, composition, structure, function, connectivity, and species composition and diversity) occur within the natural range of variation and can withstand and recover from most perturbations imposed by natural environmental dynamics or human influence.” (36 CFR 219.19) The ecosystems described in this chapter include terrestrial (soils, vegetation, and wildlife), aquatic (freshwater and coastal marine ecology) and the interface between the two (riparian areas and wetlands).These ecosystems are evaluated at the forestwide and geographic area scales where appropriate. Key characteristics of each ecosystem are identified, including species composition and diversity, structure, function, and connectivity. Existing conditions and trends of the key characteristics are described for each ecosystem. System drivers are also discussed and include dominant ecological processes, disturbance regimes, and stressors for the different ecosystems. This chapter also includes a discussion of federally recognized threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species that occur within the Chugach National Forest and a discussion of potential species of conservation concern. It concludes with a discussion and summary findings of the ability of the aquatic, terrestrial, and riparian ecosystems in the plan area to adapt to a rapidly changing climate. Physical properties of the environment both constrain and enable the development of some ecological systems within the Chugach National Forest.

Although dredging has the potential to cause Widespread ecological effects, only impacts to select species have been thoroughly assessed. Due to their reliance on freshwater habitat throughout multiple life stages, Pacific lamprey are significantly vulnerable to impacts from dredging practices.

The FMP governs commercial fishing for all stocks of fish, including all finfish, shellfish, or other marine living resources, except commercial fishing for Pacific salmon and Pacific halibut, which is managed under other authorities. The FMP was approved by the Secretary of Commerce on August 17, 2009 and implemented on (***DATE***). It may be referred to as the Arctic Fishery Management Plan. E.S. 1.1 Management Policy The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

  • Prospecting for Gold in the Northeastern United States By: Andy Sabisch
    Prospecting for Gold in the Northeastern United States By: Andy Sabisch Gold has played an integral role in the development and expansion of the United States since the 1700’s. The first U.S. gold rush started when 12-year-old Conrad Reed was fishing in the creek on his family’s farm in near present-day Charlotte, NC in 1799 and he found a seventeen-pound gold nugget. Mining activities dominated the surrounding area for several decades and millions of dollars worth of gold was recovered. As a matter of fact, the U.S. Government opened a little-known mint in Charlotte in 1837 to process the gold being mined locally and produced gold coins bearing the “C” mintmark. It remained in operation until the Civil War broke out and over its short lifetime, produced more than $5,000,000 in gold coins! In 1828, gold was discovered in north Georgia near the town of Dahlonega (even though isolated mining had taken place in the surrounding area for more than a decade previously) and the next big gold rush was on. Miners swarmed into the area displacing the Cherokee Indians, and as was the case with the Charlotte strike, recovered millions of dollars in gold from the streams and rivers throughout the Georgia hills. With the amount of gold being found, another mint was opened in Dahlonega designated with the “D” mintmark (not to be confused with the Denver mint that did not strike gold coins) and operated from 1838 to the start of the Civil War. The next big strikes took place out west with California, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada and Alaska among other areas earning a place in history as a result of the gold that was pulled from the earth.
