From
Yreka, go north on HWY 263 (North Main St). Follow it about 3 miles north and turn left onto Old Shasta River Rd. Follow Old Shasta River Rd 3.1 miles to arrive at claim. You will know you are at the right spot when you see the Yellow End County Maintenance sign. There is an open gate there and the ruins from an old bridge. Welcome to the claim. There is private property just to the east, refer to the map and look for the “no
trespassing
” signs that are hung.
The Shasta River flows down from the slopes of Mt Shasta. draining into the Klamath River; in one of the richest gold areas in the state. We sampled and found some gold right away; and just upstream a friend of ours had a claim where he pulled OUNCES of gold from. Its a really rich area, and is quiet and pretty as well.
This claim features a easy parking next to an old bridge over the beautiful river. There is a ton of bedrock exposed that can be worked. Should be great fishing here, relatively private, and lots of old mining history to discover.
Vehicular access is pretty easy; the road is dirt for a few miles, but is 2wd friendly. There is room for an RV near the old bridge. The city of Yreka is only a few miles away
for supplies.
There is about 450 feet of riveron the claim.
This is "Shasta Sweet Spot," now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.

An "Unpatented Mining Claim" means you own the "Mineral Rights" to the land and NOT the land itself. The land itself is still owned by the Federal Government.
The BLM is in the process of changing the format of the LR2000 to MLRS mining claims report and getting rid of the CAMC numbers.  They will be issuing new serial numbers in the near future.  All paperwork is current and has been filed with the California BLM.
You are allowed to prospect the surface material of your claim including panning, sluicing, dry washing, metal detecting, and rock hounding for all precious metals and minerals (not just gold).
As with ALL UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS on Forest Service land, you must file a "Plan of Operation" for any extensive mining operations beyond casual prospecting with the U.S. Forest Service.
All paperwork and fees are current through September 1st,  2021.
You cannot (at this time)"patent" this, or any unpatented mining claim. Which means, you cannot purchase the land from the Government for residential use. Mining claim "patents" have not been granted since 1992, and will take an act of Congress to do so again.
You may camp on your claim for two weeks if not prospecting, and you may camp virtually as long as you want if you are actively prospecting. Always check with BLM about extended camping related to prospecting.  You can also recreate, hunt, quad, swim, horseback ride and do any activity besides prospect.  NO permanent structures may be built unless directly related to mining.
Once a placer claim is staked and filed with the proper agencies, it must be maintained on an annual basis. Proof that it is properly maintained must be filed with the appropriate County, and State office of the BLM on or before September 1
st
of each year.
Mining Claims are considered "real property" and as such, can be sold, leased, and transferred to family members.
As long as you complete your paperwork and pay your yearly fees on time, your mining claim CANNOT be taken from you.
The owner of an unpatented mining claim may
either
, pay the annual 5.00 yearly maintenance fee
or
, perform a minimum of  0 worth of annual labor or improvements (EXAMPLE: Road improvement, clearing overgrown vegetation from access road, trash removal, etc....) on each claim by filing a Small Miners Waiver. You may file this waiver if you own 10 claims or less nationwide. (Check with the BLM for that fee amount.)
Currently the yearly maintenance fee for a 20 Acre mining claim to the BLM is 5.
