Placer gold has been mined in the Lardeau River and vicinity since 1890. The source of gold is thought to be derived from quartz veins and stringers from proximal greenstone hosted lode deposits. Early miners found a great degree of free milling gold, which was favourable for smaller scale miners as it required only crushing and panning to separate it from host rock.
The Culkeen placer deposit is on Lardeau Creek, above the falls and below Ten-Mile. The Lardeau Creek area was explored for placer gold in the late 1890s and Peter Culkeen did a considerable amount of work in the Ten-Mile area prior to 1929. More recently, in 1957, Messrs. Hladinec and Bobicki held placer and mineral claims over the Rambler [082KNW019] and worked an area further downstream.
