Local record guide
Local profile
Platinum is in the Bethel Census Area, Alaska. A census area has no government of its own, so state agencies keep most public records; an incorporated city keeps its own city records. Court cases are filed with the Alaska Court System (Bethel Trial Courts, Aniak Trial Courts). Deeds are recorded by the state Recorder's Office in the Bethel, Kuskokwim and Cape Nome recording districts. Law enforcement outside city police comes from the Alaska State Troopers Bethel Post (C Detachment) and Alaska State Troopers Aniak Post (C Detachment). Elections are run by the Region IV Elections Office, Nome.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 30 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 22 of them worked out or abandoned. The minerals the records name are Platinum; PGE; Chromium.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
