Some of Wyoming\u2019s 1860s prospectors would be rolling over in their graves if they knew just how narrowly they might\u00a0have missed striking it rich in South Pass City and other 19th-century gold hotspots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold was there in those arid hills. All those poor pioneers really needed to find it was a helicopter and some artificial intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention modern geological science, which has led Relevant Gold founder and CEO Rob Bergmann down a multi-billion-year-old channel called the Abitibi Belt, to what he believes is\u00a0a hidden gold belt underneath Wyoming.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t promise anything,\u201d Bergmann told Cowboy State Daily. \u201cBut we do believe that all of the data indicates there\u2019s a lot of opportunity that has really just never been tested in Wyoming \u2014 especially along these Archean belts that were once connected to the Abitibi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The hypothesis that those were once connected is the geological theory that\u2019s brought Bergmann to Wyoming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Archean belts arc from the CK Gold Project in southeast Wyoming, sweep through South Pass near Lander, and continue on to Bradley Peak near Rawlins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All three areas once drew gold seekers when the West was still untamed, from about 1867 to 1881. Each fizzled long before living up to their hype \u2014 even at the comparatively successful Carissa Mine in South Pass City, where tourists can still pan for gold\u00a0every year during Gold Rush Days.<\/span><\/p>\n
