Marshall Mining Labs is building the AI infrastructure for modern prospecting — starting with two working claims in Boise County, Idaho.
Boise County, Idaho — eighteen miles past Idaho City.
BIG BEAVER CREEK IDC-BB-4471 · LITTLE BEAVER CREEK IDC-LB-4472 · 40 ACRES TOTAL
43.966°N, 115.603°W · 18MI PAST IDAHO CITY ON HWY 21
How the land changed — the creek, the people, and the gold — from ancient drainage to active claim.
Big Beaver Creek (IDC-BB-4471) and Little Beaver Creek (IDC-LB-4472). Two drainages, one mountain, two decades of accumulated placer deposits waiting for a systematic season.
Twenty-eight years after the 1862 Boise Basin gold rush — the largest in Pacific Northwest history — hydraulic operations had dramatically altered Beaver Creek's natural channels.
Seventy years before the gold rush, the Boise Basin was Northern Shoshone seasonal territory. The creeks ran in their natural state — wider, more sinuous, and significantly more productive as fish and game habitat.
The Little Ice Age (roughly 1300–1850) brought significantly deeper snowpacks to the Boise Mountains. Spring flooding was more dramatic, regularly inundating wider floodplains and actively redistributing placer gold.
At the close of the Medieval Warm Period (~1250–1350 CE), the Pacific Northwest experienced shifting precipitation patterns. The Beaver Creek drainage looked significantly different — older, slower, more braided.
Old Timer is an AI prospecting partner trained on 600 years of Boise Basin knowledge. He was here before Idaho had a name. He knows every bedrock contact, every pay streak, every creek bend — and he has four gold nugget teeth from Little Beaver Creek to prove it. On-device. Offline-first. Built for the field.
Photo your ground. Old Timer reads it like a map he drew himself in 1882.
Nugget type, weight estimate, probable source — specific, immediate, six centuries of pattern recognition.
Ask him what this canyon looked like in 1650. He was there. He remembers every flood, every shift, every buried pay streak.
Full intelligence at zero bars. Runs on-device. Sync when you hit cell coverage back in Idaho City.
Live yield, claim compliance, an AI field expert, and a map that compounds in value every session.
Session weight, value, and rate against live spot pricing.

Architecture ready for geofencing, navigation, AR.
Modern Miner deployed across both claims for a full season. Every session measured.
Platform opens to individual miners and small commercial operations across Idaho and beyond.
Full topographic and historical mapping, AR-guided navigation.
Field-testing the fully mapped, AR-capable claim — topography, ancient riverbeds, and water systems brought to life in the field.
Expanding the app and platform technologies, tools and commercialization — showcasing new capabilities to the broader mining world.
Year one: awareness among real miners and IGPA members. Year two: campaigns to casual prospectors and gold enthusiasts. Year three: full launch on Apple and Android.
Modern Miner is the flagship. Marshall Mining Labs is the company built to take what works here into whatever comes next.
