Gold & mining claims, exploration, water, environmental and geohazard science — from the Sierra Nevada to the Great Basin, since 1987.
From the first grassroots geology map to a filed mining claim to a permitted well, Advanced Geologic brings a full toolbox to every project.
Buy vetted placer & lode claims — gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc — across CA, NV & AZ, with staking & filing support.
Mapping, chip sampling, geophysics, drilling and reporting. Grassroots start-ups to full corporate programs.
Groundwater analysis, well siting & drilling, water-quality testing and geothermal exploration.
Phase 1–3 assessments, percolation testing, wastewater design, erosion control and wetlands monitoring.
Regulatory representation, environmental assessments and agency navigation from application to approval.
Fault investigations, earthquake & landslide analysis, and flood-plain evaluation for safer sites.
Materials testing, soil compaction and concrete inspection to keep builds on solid ground.
Reconnaissance and evaluation for the minerals powering the next era of energy.
A few standout properties from our current list — real, documented placer & lode claims, each field-verified by a professional geologist before it's posted.
All claims are unpatented: you own the mineral rights, while the land stays federal (BLM / U.S. Forest Service).
No mystery, no runaround. Here's exactly how a claim moves from our list to your name.
Browse the list, ask questions, and choose a property that fits your goals, access and budget.
A $150 transfer fee per claim (less for multiples). Pay by PayPal, check, cash or wire.
We file a notarized Quitclaim deed with the county and BLM — the mineral rights are officially yours.
File your annual Proof of Assessment or Notice of Intent to Hold — or let us handle maintenance for you.
We don't work from a desk. Every claim and report is backed by mapping the rocks in person — like this annotated look at Red Mountain and the Feather River fault country.
Nearly four decades putting boots on the ground across the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin. A small, senior team — led by Chief Geologist Charles P. Watson (CA PG #7818, NI 43-101) and guarded by Ranger the German Shepherd — that answers the phone and shows up in the field.
Better science means better decisions. Better service means you actually reach a geologist. Better results mean claims you can trust and reports that hold up. That's the Advanced Geologic touch.
