Gold Prospectors of the Rockies

Great Program last night. Scot Grosman of the Jeffco Parks and Open Spaces talked about the Peaks to Plains Trail ( now called the Clear Creek Trail Project) and how all the stakeholders, of which the GPoR is one since 2012, have helped to make the Canyon one of the highest use parks on the front range. Though progress and change have limited Prospectors access over the years, we still continue to have a voice in the project to insure Prospectors will continue to have access and preserve some of the historical culture of the Canyon. Thanks Scot, for a great job..!⛏️

Come and join the Gold Prospectors of Colorado at Arapahoe Bar at 10a on Saturday, April 18. We will be doing a little clean up as well as a panning class for those needing it and having a little 'dig' party as well. Everyone is welcome... Hope to see you there..⛏️

Great presentation at the last meeting on Wednesday by Chris Stone on the history of the Hidee Gold mine in Gilpin County. The Club will be touring the mine this coming weekend.

Come join the Gold Prospectors of the Rockies this coming Wednesday, March 18 at 7pm at the Clements Center in Lakewood, 1580 Yarrow st, for an evening meeting. Always an interesting program and lots of like minded people to talk to. You could even win a gold nugget. Hope to see many of you there.

February program was John Jiggs, owner of the Gold Prospector Shop on S. Broadway, who gave us a demonstration on the mine lab 2000.. it was a very interesting presentation and we thank John for it. His new shop is the only full time prospecting shop we now have in Denver, so drop in and see him for any of your needs. Hope everyone can join us on March 18 at 7pm for our next meeting. We will have another good program coming up.

Great presentation on the 21st by David Emslie on gold, geology and today's processing methods GREAT job David.! David filled in impromptu for our speaker who was unable to attend.

Come and join us at the Clements Center in Lakewood at 7pm on January 21st for a great evening with like minded people where we talk about gold, gold and more gold. There is a lot going on and a lot of fun. You might even win a gold nugget.!!

Lee Miska, a past Club President, would like to remind everyone that gold was at a mere $276 an ounce in 2001. It is now over $2500 an ounce..! Think about that.!!

Great presentation at the Wednesday Club meeting by Jay Lesser. Jay is doing some great work and talked about his very innovative process for removal of toxic materials from our tailing piles and how he is able to clean them up and recover values to boot. Not a cheap process but a very effective one. Way to go Jay..!!!

Great doings at the Highlands Ranch Pioneer Days Festival panning demo, over 900 2nd & 3rd graders..

Check out the link below and sign the petition to save the folks on the western slope from the greenies trying to create another national monument doing away with mining and all other recreational activity from which they rely on for their economic lives. The entire mining community needs to get on board here and help out.
