The Clear Creek drainage remains auriferous; modern exploration has focused on porphyry copper-gold transition zones at higher elevations. Year-round access via I-70 makes this region accessible to both hobbyist and professional prospectors. The BLM Grand Junction Field Office administers federal claims; private claim holdings are significant.
