Current-day Cresson Mine
The
Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company ("CC&V") operates the
current-day Cresson operations, the largest gold mine in Colorado just
outside of Victor. Driving through the area you will see signs of active
mining in just about every phase. From the valley fill/gold recovery
operation along Highway 67 near the Little Grouse Mountain Overview, to
the surface mine seen from the American Eagles Scenic Overlook, you will
gain a perspective of the modern-day methods keeping Victor’s gold mining
legacy alive. CC&V is a joint venture operation between AngloGold
(Colorado) Corp. and Golden Cycle Gold Corporation. AngloGold (Colorado)
Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold North America Inc. CC&V
headquarters are in downtown Victor. |

responsibility. Since 1994, CC&V has committed its organization and
corporate resources to the betterment of the Cripple Creek and Victor
communities. Setting the highest standards of performance of operation
remains CC&V’s pre-eminent goal as its operations continue into the 21st
Century. As you travel throughout the district you will find evidence of
CC&V’s willingness to preserve historic structures and allowing public
