A summary of this article appears in California Gold Rush.

So what about now?

Is the amount left negligible? Do there still exist concentrations that are not yet economic to mine? I know you can still pan for gold for fun at certain tourist locations in California. Klosterdev (talk) 05:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan tag not appropriate here

The recommended criteria for placement of an <orphan> tag is no incoming links - which is plainly not the case here. Wikipedia:Orphan "it is recommended to only place the <orphan> tag if the article has ZERO incoming links from other articles. One or two incoming links may be sufficient as long as they're relevant." 76.168.53.104 (talk) 13:30, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Present day?

Is there any present day commercial extraction going on? If so, where, and how much? If not, why not (not enough left, not commercial to extract it etc). 86.133.213.107 (talk) 10:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Liberty Mining District, Siskiyou county

"Liberty Mining District" "Siskiyou county" yields about 1,330 results:

"The Liberty gold mining district of southwestern Siskiyou County is a principal lode gold producing district in the Klamath Mountains, second only to the French Gulch/Deadwood district near Redding, California."[1]

Walters, Heidi (August 30, 2007). "Rock and a Hard Place — Independent gold miners fear extinction as a new wave hits the hills". North Coast Journal. The ensuing spree lasted for more than a hundred years, with the Liberty Mining District — just upstream on the North Fork — at one point yielding so much gold, mostly pried from hard rock, that the region was the second largest gold producer in California, next to the Mother Lode in the Sierras.
