Where Can I Find Gold In Utah? (USGS Gold prospecting map Survey)
Just where can I find Gold in Utah? (USGS Gold prospecting map Survey). This time we will look at USGS locations where gold can be found in Utah and why geologically it is found there.
For more details on getting help finding more gold see this presentation: https://SourdoughMiner.com/GDU/ Audio is now fixed since prospector Jess did where is gold found in Utah Live! Utah gold map review.
The wasatch mountain range that runs vertically through Utah is the steepest mountain range in North America and also has the only mountain range in the US that runs horizontally known as the uinta mountains. Utah is definitely unique.
Kimberly mtn and the uintas are the best i have found being a utah native and looking for gold those have shown the most color.
Utah is one of the largest gold producers in the country, BUT, it’s largely due to one mine, which happens to be one of the largest open pit copper mines in the world, and the gold is simply a byproduct of it’s scale. Most the rest of it’s gold, including the Bingham copper mine gold, is very fine and largely in sulphides.

What a boutique Wyoming.
That area you discuss around 15min is the famous Henry Mountains and the location of the Lost Josephine, Spanish Mine. There is an underground city in the area that is known to the local Piautes. They will not tell you where it is because their ancestors lived and slaved in the mines and were held captive in the city. We found the entrance but it has collapsed. Above the city there are still plenty of active mines. Modern miners just have not found the main vein yet. There is a South African company mining several of the mines on top now.
I have claims at hoyt peak utah and the Josephine mine and your descriptions follow the model geology for gold and a documented history of gold back to the sixteenth century with the Spanish. We have discovered the pgms certified in areas around the josephine at 8.67 percent for rhodium and paladium.
I am born and raised in moab utah still living here in moab
Yes, more Utah please!!
I was told by my grandma that Spanish hid gold on Bonneville salt flats. Some where
Yes texas
Is there any gold spots on the North Slope of Uinta mountains to look for. Like between Evanston to Manilla ?
Do you know much about down south like sevier county and that area I have stumbled across mines and use to pan and help my grand father find gold when I was young but since his passing I havent really done anything down there
Thank you so much this was so helpful. I’ve had the hardest time trying to find it here in Utah. WOW Thanks again
Texas an okla
Pretty sweet oscilloscope you’ve got in that desk. I just happen to live in Utah and found this video. I’m just an electronic hobbyist but it’s still neat to see the prospecting geology around the state of Utah
This is so cool! Thanks for the knowledge, always hear of people finding all these amazing gemstones here but we never find anything like that when we’re out in the mountains. Learned alot about the land layout, thank you!
New to this,
I live in Utah and want to thank you for the lesson today.
I have subscribed and look forward to more.
Yes Texas
Hello Jess. your voice is a bit like a musician johnny cash)
Nevada
Also there are some gold mines above Centerville and Farmington, maybe Bountiful too.
Our Great Salt Lake has shrank soo much! I also believe where man has changed the way the water drains. It goes to holding ponds throughout the cities. It doesn’t go to the GSL. Besides we have been very dry.
That transverse range is called the Unita Mountains and is the only transverse range in the North American Rocky Range
Trees down Utah has in the past suffered from a huge pine beetle infestation cause for trees being down
Be very careful wandering around the Salt Flats as they are called because they are part of the Utah Test and Training Range. It will be clearly marked and everything outside the boundary should have been dealt with. FYI At the Utah Nevada town of Wendover there is a WWII airbase where the crews for the atomic bomb raids trained
Texas yes
The claim that you are looking at southeast of wendover, nv. Is a little old Ghost town called Gold Hill. One person actually lives there and is mining it
You guys rock! You make all the effort to put these videos together worth it. See https://SourdoughMiner.com/GDU/ for details on how I can help you find more gold.
Jess, what about…Wyoming? Gold and…diamonds there.
When you’re addressing the red desert and you’re talking about the permitter what are you exactly talking about are you talking about the edge where the uplift is happening or the perimeter of the entire Area you marked. What do you mean edge vertical edge of that uplift
Can you do a vid on colorado/wyoming?
What about the lost rhodes mine that cursed all the gold in the uinta basin??
Except for you didn’t say anything about the Uinta mountains. And there is known Spanish gold mines in the area. And placer gold in the rivers.
Most of the salt flats of the great salt lake are military testing grounds now.
Arizona please
GEEZ…
are you an author ?
Because you are TERRIBLE !
At this Video Stuff.
Can you do kansas if there is any?
Good video
Is there a possibility to find gold in a old Utah cole mine.
thanks for Utah how about Texas
What happened to AZ
I enjoy all your videos.
Living in Utah, there are quite a few fault lines and I have long been curious if even ancient fault lines if they make for good or worth prospecting for gold?
Utah has a lot of fine gold and is the #1 money maker in the state. I have a friend who gets gold out of the gutter in Ogden from the road base that comes from a gravel pit at the bottom of a canyon that contains gold. There’s a good book by Alan Chenworth called Gold Panning in Utah that goes into further detail. Last year when I camped at the Utah Gold Club claim I had a UFO hover above my campsite at night on three different occasions. I’m going there next week but won’t be camping unfortunately.
I was told some years ago that there was gold out by Wendover on the Utah side and all so have seen spots that where there could of been some valcano remains in different spots in the state of my travels
Yeah Texas!
Hey Jess do you know what area Hackly and Hume mineing was at ? In Utah.
I live in utah and i was wondering what site you used for the gold map locations.
I live in utah and go to the uintas alot looking for lost gold mines, is their a way i could jump on a Skype with you?
One of the largest gold producer in the U.S. is the Kennecott Copper mine. That’s why you see a lot of indicators south of the Great Salt Lake.
so up in south weber i helped dig a fire pit in a friends backyard and our hand literally sparkled with fine gold all the house were build on top of it.
Please look at eastern utah
