For prospectors, claim buyers and small operators
Know where to dig, before you dig.
Paystreak combines eight layers of public data, from 1 m lidar and satellite mineral maps to century-old USGS reports, into ranked gold ground. Every result shows who owns the land and how accurate we have been.
Join the waitlistThe problem
Small miners dig blind
Claims cost money every year, equipment costs more, and most ground holds little gold. The information that would help is real but scattered across government databases, satellite archives and reports that were printed decades ago.
Geology & history
Mapped faults, intrusions, historic mines and every mention of gold we can find in public USGS and Bureau of Mines reports, cited to the page.
From above
Satellite and hyperspectral mineral maps for the clays and iron minerals that form around gold veins, plus lidar to find old placer workings under the trees.
Land status
Who manages the ground and whether it is already claimed, so you don't fall in love with land you can't work.
Pilot: Alma–Fairplay, Colorado
We test our map against things it never saw
AUC against active lode claims the model was not trained on (0.5 = coin flip).
More lode claims in our top-ranked 10% of ground than chance would put there.
Federally registered mining operations sit in our top 7% of ground.
We also publish where it is weak. See how we validate →
