Howdy there, friend! Welcome to the Yukon Gold Mining Guide, where I – your old pal Terry, a seasoned Klondike prospector – will spin you yarns and share hard-won tips about digging for gold up here in the Yukon. I’ve been around these creeks a long time, so get comfy while I walk you through everything from how to pan for gold and nugget shooting with a metal detector, to the legendary tales of the Klondike Gold Rush and the ins-and-outs of mining today.
We’ll chat about the best gear (and its pros and cons), a bit of Yukon mining law (so you stay on the right side of the Mounties), and even point out the must-see sites and gold-panning adventures that’ll make your visit truly golden. By the end of this guide, you’ll be raring to swirl some Yukon gravel in a pan and maybe even strike it rich – or at least have a great story to tell around the campfire. So let’s get to it, pardner! 🏕️✨
More about Us
YukonYouMineGold is our private gold mining claim in the Yukon, not too far from Whitehorse. The boys downriver from us say the land is some of the most profitable they’ve ever worked. Is our land as well-stocked with the yellow stuff?
It’s hard to know for sure, until we get in there and start digging. The trouble is, serious gold-mining takes a lot of investment, and we’re just simple folk. We’ve got the land, but not that much cash.
So we’d like to figure out other ways of making this property profitable – for both us and you! We are open to the idea of running a gold-mining retreat, filled with history, activities and culture. This would be a sort of family adventure camp.
Or we could rent out shovels, panning equipment and metal detectors for nugget shooting.
We’re also interested, however, in partnering with larger operations who want to bring in the heavy machinery – or even a reality TV show like GoldRush.
This is some of the most beautiful, pristine scenery in the world; whether or not you hit pay dirt, visiting us with be the trip of a lifetime. We hope to build a sustainable, environmentally-friendly gold mining operation that can bring in thousands of ounces of gold.
We’ll add more pics and videos to this site soon!
