General comments

Subject category Comment text
General Why is this called a gold property, when it is named an aggregate and the site has been mined for aggregate to make the dam located a short distance up river? Either the commodities are incorrect, or their is placer gold, in which case this should have sand and gravel as another commodity. I think the production records referred to in the comments section applied to another property.
