Large Scale Placer Exploration in the Yukon

[mulletator]

Hey guys,

Over April and May this year I spent 7 weeks on a large scale prospecting gig in the Yukon. We had a small team of 3 guys and some cool machines. Our main tool was a Nodwell mounted 12" auger drill.

Excellent write up! I have to agree with Schoolofhardrocks though.... Pics of the gold would be a great addition!

Hey guys, thanks for the great responses. I left out the gold pics because they are not super impressive because they represent samples. I'll post one up here though.

This photo is somewhat typical of samples in the paystreak. We've seen some nice nuggets. The gold in that pan is from a 2.5 ft section that is 12" wide (diameter of the auger).

Looks like some nice little thick pickers!

Awesome. thanks for sharing. I've been to Whitehorse twice on the way to Alaska. Would love to have a chance to stay for the summer.
