Our Bighorn Run placer claim is located on Ram Creek, in the Yankee Hill Gold District. This district is in the east central Butte County about 15 miles northeast of Oroville. It is fairly extensive and includes the Concow and Big Bend areas. This area was first worked during the Gold Rush, where much of the gold was recovered in the North Fork of the Feather River. A number of quartz veins contain some free gold and often times, abundant sulfides, especially chalcopyrite.
