Bullion Mountain is a 5,086-foot peak in Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains near Palmer, rising steeply above the historic mining country of Hatcher Pass. Closely linked to the region’s gold-mining past, its northwest slope held the Gold Bullion Mine, which produced 77,000 ounces of gold from 1908 to 1951 within the Willow Creek district, one of Alaska’s leading lode-gold regions. The mountain also sits in a geologically complex area shaped by granitic intrusions, varied rock bodies, and a major fault near Hatcher Pass. Its slopes drain into both the Little Susitna and Susitna river systems, and its name was officially adopted in 1951.
