285 acres. Located on the Fraser River, 45 km south of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. Access to site by forest service road. 4 placer claims cover sections of a large bend of the river. With gold discovered in 1857 on Fraser river, the subsequent migration the following year by mostly California gold rush miners, the River became the major infrasctructure of the colony of British Columbia. Gold prospectors heading up the River reached the Cariboo (Caribou) region in 1860. Construction of the Cariboo Road in 1862 brought personnel and supplies to the Cariboo gold fields from Yale, on the Fraser River. This property has been worked and sampled by the current owner over several decades, with values reported from 1-15gpt gold in concentrates from test holes dug on the bars and bench. Gold is reported to be fine with large tonnage potential of mineable alluvium. Latitude 53°23'22" Longitude 122°38'54" $150,000
