SUMMARY Woodchopper Gold Claim consists of approximately 230± acres of fee lands and approximately 1,188± acres of mineral rights only gold claims in the biodiverse Yukon Charlie National Preserve interspersed with mineral-rich mining claims (‘claim-acres,’ aka ‘the property’). The ownership includes both patented and unpatented claim-acres along Woodchopper Creek, a tributary of the upper Yukon River, part of the Yukon-Koyukuk Borough between the towns of Circle and Eagle, Alaska; 65.2947°N 143.4117°W. The property is an inholding situated within the Yukon-Charley National Rivers Preserve managed by the US National Park Service (NPS). The property’s 15 patented claims (230± acres) were periodically mined up through the 1980s, whereas the 37 unpatented claims (1,188± acres) remain undeveloped. The EASI appraisal describes an estimated $52 million net in recoverable gold deposits present in both the patented and unpatented mining claims reflecting a market value of gold at $1,800 per troy ounce (‘tr oz’).
