AUREX #23 occupies the southwest quarter of T.80S., R.770W., Sec. 10, SW — approximately 20.66 acres of federally administered land in Summit County, Colorado. Under the General Mining Act of 1872, this parcel is identified by BLM serial number CO101511917 and is subject to annual maintenance obligations of $165 or equivalent assessment work.
Summit County's Breckenridge and Montezuma mining districts produced significant hard-rock and placer gold from the 1859 rush through the 1980s. The Blue River drainage contains both ancient and recent placer deposits; valley terraces hold buried pay gravels mapped by USGS. Modern prospecting has concentrated on creek rehabilitation work and assessment of historic tailings for reprocessing. The BLM Kremmling Field Office administers federal claims; high-elevation terrain limits access to summer months.
The nearest mapped access corridor, osm:17119511 (mapped off-road route), lies approximately 3 feet from this claim's centroid. off-road vehicle clearance is required. Vehicle staging is feasible directly adjacent to the claim boundary.
