Gold Mining Simulator

You begin as a small-scale gold miner in Alaska, starting with basic tools and working toward a larger mining operation. The game offers four mining claims, each with deformable terrain to dig and explore. Mine by digging and processing soil to recover gold, first with simple equipment and later with machinery such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, drills, and wash plants. You also drive vehicles, connect equipment, and handle machine repairs and maintenance. Lease claims, sell your gold, and reinvest earnings in more capable equipment and wash-plant parts to increase production. The business grows through successive upgrades, while each claim also has background details to discover.

Start with hand panning in Alaska, then operate heavy machinery and build a gold-mining business across four claims.
