Placer Mining Season Nears End in Breckenridge Colorado
Three weeks remain in the Breckenridge Blue Valley placer season as operators plan to work ahead for next year’s campaign. Churn drills driven by portable engines prove the fastest method to test depth and gauge gold value, with North American Gold Dredging, Gold Pan Mining, Oro Grande and Royal Mountain placer firms reporting strong results. Hydraulic elevator systems, fed by ditch water, move gravel to sluices while draining excess water, aiding bedrock river placers in heavy underflow areas.
