A taste of gold ...

Adam writes: here’s a taste of our best lead so far.... im not giving you a map for the location but it is only a twenty-minute helicopter ride away, somewhere in the middle ground between Harrison/Pitt and Stave.”

Ever wondered where the Gatsby Claim is?

The Curse of the Frozen Gold includes some episodes about the explorations at Gatsby’s claim producing samples with a promising gold content but not commercially viable for development. It remains a intriguing and not fully investigated location though. Gatsby’s claim is not easily accessible. The map shows the exact area Gatsby was exploring to the southwest of Remote Peak.

Vickers Creek

Came across a 1985 assessment report of the claims at Vickers Creek that may be of interest to some of us mainly those interested in history. Click here.

Where is the gold?

From Jackson’s letter of 1904:

From the head of Pitt Lake and not more than 20 miles in a north westerly direction to the hidden treasure but there is no trail and nothing to guide you except that when you get within a few miles of the place you will see on a lower ridge three sharp peaks, each some 50 or 100 ft high as you face these the hidden treasure is below and to the right of these peaks. 

That is right within the area of Coquitlam Search and Rescue following the direction of the upper Pitt River.

Sloquet??

Spotted at the Sasquatch Inn in Harrison this morning Brian and Adam. Were they just reviewing findings in the area or preparing for an intensive search this coming summer? What did Adam find out that caught Brian’s interest?  Seeing Brian, Sloquet Valley comes to mind. In that case it is strange not to see Rob there as well.  Did they keep Rob out intentionally? It seems that UBC is analyzing an ore sample but Adam remained tight-lipped about the location of his find.
