- According to history records -
In much of the Cariboo district, a layer of distinctive, hard, compact, semi-rigid blue clay sits either on or slightly above bedrock and acts as "false" bedrock. In the placer-gold areas of the Cariboo, large amounts of gold were recovered from gravel resting on this clay. In places, the clay layer was penetrated by the placer miners to reach richer "pay streaks" on true bedrock below.
The mine is providing 10 -11 ounces of gold ore, contains an abundance of gold with exceptional purity per yard at this time, and is showing a "blue clay pay steak with seams" a great potential for the big pay as we get closer to bedrock.
The layers have now been much denser and getting closer to each other and not so far apart which means that we are getting a lot closer to bedrock.
We recently discovered an "unknown" black mineral surfacing (oozing) during the exploration.

This photo is where we began removing the vegetation.
Here we began removing about 3 feet of the post-glacial before getting to the second class of the tertiary deposit.
The post-glacial showing here is before getting to the second class of the tertiary deposit showings.
