There is a book out: "How to Prospect in Alaska Without Getting Shot."

I bought it and still use it because it covers all the roadways and where to prospect without any hastles.

Also there is the Alaska Mining and Diving web page.
http://www.akmining.com/boating.htm

Lots of information there.

Tom and Perry Massie run the Cripple River Mining Camp out of Nome.

Do an internet search: gold + Alaska and see what you find. Lot of reading.

If you go where the huskies go,
Just don't eat no yellow snow!
