This week, I’m traveling in Idaho, looking at a prospective gold resource that has been dishing up some really rich drill results. The company that is getting the results owns one of the biggest land packages in Idaho, and it thinks it is onto something special.
Still, when I say “Idaho,” I get curious looks from some of my friends. That’s because when they think Idaho, they think potatoes. They haven’t heard of the Great Idaho Gold Rush of 1860.
I think this is partly because the Idaho Gold Rush is the pastrami in an overstuffed sandwich of incredible gold rushes of that time period. While some of the Idaho finds were very rich indeed, Idaho may seem like small potatoes (ouch!) compared to the HUGE California gold rush that started in 1848, the Colorado Gold Rush of 1858 and Canada’s huge Cariboo Gold Rush of 1862.
