In 1973 I was working as a Hard rock miner in the town Of Dead Wood Ca.As one of my tasks I was assisting a hired Core Driller. I had been doing this for about 6 weeks and in that time we had repositioned about 10 times to a number of different locations. One day we withdrew the core sample and took it outside to have a look at it. What we both saw was shocking. This sample was totally different than the hundreds of other samples we had looked at. This sample was so full of Gold that we called the President of the Company over to look at it.
To my suprise he promply told the Core Driller to pack up his equipment and that he could no longer afford to pay him. Two days later on a Saturday when all the other miners were off he had me go under ground and board up the area that the sample was taken from. I later found out that my Boss had received the assay report and that the sample had come back at 800 ounces to the ton. When I heard this I was excited because the Ore we were running at the Mill averaged only 1 ounce to the ton. To my further suprise I was called into his office and told that if I told anyone about this discovery that I would be Fired immediately. Since I was only 17 years old at the time and living at the Mine I kept my mouth shut. I later found out that the company had 24 Grants from the Government for exploration totaling about 10 Million dollars and if they found Gold they would have to pay back all that money. My boss died later that year of Cancer and that Vein has never been discovered
Now to my Dillema. I am the only one who knows about this Vein. It has never been discovered and a new Company owns the Land and Patents to it. I have approached them with Vague references to the Vein hoping they would offer a finders fee but that hasn't happened.
They believe they have all of the Core Samples and there is no evidence of the Vein. I believe my Boss had plans to go back and mine this Vein after the company went Bankrupt but due to his sudden Death it never happened.
Anyone with any Idea's please get back to Me.
Thanks
