The Old Hundred Gold Mine Tour is a guided mine tour that takes you 1/3 mile into the heart of 13,000 foot Galena Mountain where you can follow the vein and see real mining equipment in action! Go underground and experience the secret world of the gold miner!

The history of the Old Hundred Gold Mine begins in the spring of 1872 when the first of the three Neigold brothers arrived from Germany and staked their claim on the "Number Seven" vein. Reinhard, Gustave, and Otto Neigold spent the next 30 years prospecting and developing the veins on Galena Mountain.

Follow the blue and white "Mine Tour" directional signs that are located along the way after you leave the Silverton town limits. Schedule for Saturday, May 10th, 2025 through Sunday, September 15th, 2025:

Free gold panning. Try your luck at the Old Hundred's sluice box where you get to pan for gold just like the prospectors did over 100 years ago.

Highly scenic road to the mine is paved for 2 miles, then well maintained gravel for the last three miles. Accessible to all cars and recreational vehicles.
