Fog Lode: Strike Gold in the Black Hills with Me

Picture 9 acres at 6,700 feet, crowning Chism Gulch in South Dakota’s Black Hills—my Fog Lode (M.S. 1377) near Rubicon Canyon, a gold-loaded claim I’m listing at $5.4 million. Its geology, gold’s hot streak, and hints of rare earths scream opportunity. I’m after a partner to invest and unlock this land’s millions. Ready to dig in? Here’s the scoop.

Geology That Packs a Punch

Fog Lode’s in the Black Hills’ gold zone—Precambrian schists and quartz veins, like the Homestake Mine’s 40-million-ounce playbook. At Chism Gulch’s peak, it’s a fault-fed gold trap, with placer hints downstream pointing to a vein system ripe for drilling. I see ~264,000 ounces in situ—gold locked in the rock—based on 9 acres yielding ~4.9 million tons at 1.67 g/t (grams per ton). That’s $767 million at today’s prices, dwarfing my $5.4M ask. Plus, nearby Dakota Gold’s REE finds suggest Fog Lode could hold more than just gold—think high-value metals too.[^1]

From Acres to Tons

How’s 9 acres stack up? Picture 392,000 square feet, mined 164 feet deep (Dakota Gold’s vein depth nearby)—that’s 4.9 million tons of rock. At 1.67 g/t—tuned between my gut and Dakota Gold’s 2.22 g/t—you get 264,000 ounces. Today, that’s $767M ($2,900/oz); in 10 years at $5,000/oz, it’s $1.32 billion. Tons to ounces to dollars—Fog Lode’s scale is real.

Gold’s Hot—and Climbing

Gold’s at $2,900+/oz (Feb 24, 2025), up 28% in 2024 (World Gold Council). J.P. Morgan says $3,000 by late 2025, Citi hits $3,200 by 2026. A decade out? Coin Price Forecast predicts $5,085 by 2030, Axi sees $6,800 by 2040. I’ll peg $5,000/oz by 2035—solid odds with inflation and gold’s shine. That’s $1.32 billion for Fog Lode’s haul.

Dakota Gold’s Neighborly Nod

Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE: DC) is rocking it nearby at Richmond Hill—2.22 g/t over 50 meters (Dec 2024), aiming for 3.65 million ounces by mid-2025 (Feb 2025). Chism Gulch ties into their patch—same rocks, same gold buzz, plus REE potential. Fog Lode’s next, untested but loaded. (Fog Lode is next neighbor North East Corner of image above.)

Partner Up: $250K for 5%

I’m listing at $5.4M, but I want a teammate. Invest $250,000 for 5% of Fog Lode. That’s 13,200 ounces—$38.3 million at $2,900/oz, $66 million at $5,000/oz in 2035—pre-mining costs, sure, but gold’s trajectory could mean 15x or more, with REEs as a bonus. I’m Scott Prentice, artist-turned-prospector, living this land’s pulse. Got $250K and a hunch? Let’s talk privately—millions await.

[^1]: REE Potential: Dakota Gold’s Richmond Hill project, near Fog Lode, hit Rare Earth Elements (REEs) up to 12.9% REO over 4.9 feet in their TD Zone (Jan 31, 2024). Think neodymium and praseodymium—key for magnets in EVs, wind turbines, and defense tech. Cerium and lanthanum popped too, spread over a 1,000×1,000 ft area, down 1,000 ft. Fog Lode’s similar geology could hint at REEs alongside gold, boosting its value if confirmed.
