There is abundant water on the property with several varieties of waterfowl migrating through the area. Grimes Creek flows year round through the property.
This property has significant wildlife passing through the property including elk, mule deer, bears and bobcats. There is hunting on the property and through out the BLM land surrounding the property. Winter activities for this area of Boise County are focused on Snow Mobile trails that are groomed during the high activity months. During the summer months ATV activity is extensive in this mountainous region of Idaho.
The dominate activity on the property was mining. This occurred from the early 1850's to 1933. Idaho City was the prominent community in the area with more than 20,000 people living there during the height of gold activities for Boise County. The population for Idaho City today is approximately 450 people.
Mammoth mine is well known in Idaho and was a productive mine for placer gold in the Idaho City mining community until the government declared that individuals could not own gold as of May 1, 1933. Before that an estimated $650,000 in gold had been taken from the Mammoth claim. At the then current price of $20.67 per ounce this represented approximately 31,500 ounces of gold ore. According to the owners the ore was some of the highest grade ore found in Idaho. At today's current price at approximately $1750 per ounce the gold removed would be worth more than $50 million. If you desire more information concerning this unique property, please contact the agent, Todd Walter at Twalter@nationalland.com
From the reports made by the owner in 1933 when mining operation were suspended there should be significant gold ore deeper than mining operations went then due to water infiltration in the mine shaft that can be easily dealt with by current mining technology. There are additional veins off from the main mine shaft where significant ore deposits are suspected but never mined.
There is an assay report taken in 2007 of the tailing deposits above ground. This assay reports are available to prospective buyers of the Mammoth Group, LLC property.
This property and rights to specific BLM lands represent an island in the Boise National Forest. There still remain deposits of gold and silver most likely below the 200 foot level where flooding occur in the 1930's and possibly in another vein not excavated with in the Patented Claims known as Fourth of July, Fourth of July No. 2 and Fourth of July No. 3.
