The Yukon basin remains largely unexplored with 3000 miles of main river and 60 to 300 mile tributaries. Klondike claims are staked near Dawson City, but vast Arctic terrain and winter risk deter fast settlement.

The idea hinges on differing vibrations and electric agitation of silver versus gold particles, rivaling other proposed gold sources.
