We Don't Track the Stock Market.
We Track the Gold.
If you're looking for advice on Mining Stocks, ETFs, or what the Federal Reserve is doing next week, you're in the wrong place.
There are a thousand newsletters written by guys in suits who have never held a shovel. This isn't one of them.
The Story
My name is Eric Schultz. I've been in this game for over 20 years - from freezing my hands in the creeks of Montana to sweating it out on hard rock projects in Arizona. I've opened mines, I've closed mines, and I've seen just about every trick in the book.
For decades, we all relied on the ICMJ Mining Journal to keep us honest and connected. When the presses stopped, it left a silence in our industry.
Suddenly, the only place to buy a claim was on eBay - sifting through scams, "paper claims," and bad maps.
I built this site to fix that.
Our Mission for 2026
With gold sitting at around $5,000 an ounce, the small miner is back in business. But you need a hub you can trust.
We Verify:
If a claim is listed here, we check the BLM serial numbers. We don't list "ghost ground."
We Educate:
No geology jargon. Just simple, field-tested guides on how to find, stake, and refine your own gold.
We Connect:
This is the new trading post. Whether you have a 4-inch dredge to sell or a high-yield placer claim to lease, this is where the serious miners are.
The "Dirt First" Promise
We believe the best gold is the kind you dig yourself. Whether you are a weekend warrior looking for color in the pan, or a serious operation hunting Rare Earths, you have a home here.
Welcome to the New Gold Rush.
