Listings come from Google Maps (retrieved 2026-10-13, re-checked 2026-10-13: each place still appears on Google Maps and its website, where it has one, was reachable). Hours are the ones on the Google listing and many tour mines are seasonal, so check with the operator before you go. Gold Mines Map has no ties to these businesses.
