Dakota Gold Corp is an American gold mining company that owns land in the historic Homestake District of the northern Black Hills of South Dakota. The area once produced the second largest amount of gold in U.S. history. Otherwise known as the Homestake Mine or the Homestake Deposit, the 100-square-mile area yielded approximately 44 million ounces of gold in its 136-year-history, placing it second in U.S. gold production only to the Carlin District of northeast Nevada, and ranking it the largest iron-formation-hosted gold deposit in the world. Mining was halted in 2002 but the company re-opened the mine around 2014. The company was formerly known as Dakota Territory Resource Corp and changed its name in 2022 to Dakota Gold Corp after a merger with JR Resources Corp. The total mineral area that the company owns covers 3,057 acres, including: the Blind Gold, City Creek, and Homestake Paleoplacer Properties. Wikipedia
