Gold Remains in California Mountains Says Mining Bureau
The California State Mining Bureau reports that gold placers have produced over a billion dollars since 1848 and remain abundant. The Sierra Nevada region between Susanville and Mariposa is the key area feeding the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, with about seven billion cubic yards of gravel across drainages and an estimated 60 percent workable yielding roughly 15 cents per yard. If hydraulically mined, about six hundred million could be recovered from these systems, and a Caminetti Act plan is proposed for regulated development, potentially under federal and state oversight.
