What Makes Riverdance Gold Mining Unique

Rooted in Alaska

Riverdance Gold Mining (RGM) brings the spirit of Alaska’s rugged wilderness to every product we create. Located in the heart of the Matanuska Susitna Valley, just 40 miles north of Anchorage, we design and manufacture Riverdance Mini Jigs with one goal in mind: to deliver superior Gold & Gem recovery performance. Inspired by Alaska’s untamed beauty and tested against its demanding conditions, our jigs are built to excel where others fail. Whether you're a recreational prospector or a professional miner, trust Riverdance Mini Jigs to offer unmatched reliability and efficiency, inspired by the ingenuity and self reliance of living in Alaska.

Inovation born out of experience  

Raised on a remote Alaskan mining claim, Sid Wood grew up surrounded by the challenges of Gold recovery in remote Alaska. Watching his family rely on a massive mineral jig inspired him to create something revolutionary. Driven by a passion for practicality and efficiency, Sid developed the world’s first portable mineral jig designed to bring powerful recovery capabilities to miners everywhere.

At Riverdance Gold Mining, our roots run deep in Alaskan ingenuity, and we’re proud to continue this legacy with every jig we build.
