Gold Prospecting & Mining Summit

Unfortunately there was a scheduling conflict at the venue for 2013, so we are not holding a Gold Prospecting & Mining Summit in 2013. However, we have set a date for the following year -- our next Gold Prospecting & Mining Summit is scheduled for April 5 & 6, 2014 in Placerville, California.
