The Fraser River, from Chilliwack to its more northern extremity, and many of its tributaries, are historically known to have produced considerable gold and platinum throughout its mining history. However, in earlier years during the famed Gold Rush period, as new gold field discoveries evolved, many placer miners tended to move onward, leaving behind many under prospected and valuable properties. The Chinese miners (who were very proficient in their mining toils) then began to work a number of these old claims on the Fraser and its tributaries, until legislation was passed in the early part of the last century to ban their mining. Sporadically over the years, individuals would ply their hand at prospecting either for a living or for recreational enjoyment. All along the Gold Rush Trail exists old tails and new accounts of admirable rewards being reaped from the gravels of the Fraser.

The above noted claims represent the 'Kanaka Group' of placer tenures, one of the more dynamic compilation of placer prospecting properties along the Fraser. Whether acquired individually or secured as a group, each area offers excellent potential. These claims are situate on a major river bend on the Fraser River, 13 kilometers south of Lytton or, 31 kilometers north of Boston Bar.
Locally, during early geological, earth-forming periods, a massive body of granitic rock became uplifted, forming the current intrusive bedrock structure we now recognize as the 'Kanaka Mound.' Following this up-evil, the entire geographical area fell subject to the glaciation period, the latest of which (eleven thousand years ago) left a sheet of ice two thousand feet thick. As this glacier began to melt, it commenced to flow in a more southerly direction, scouring and gouging out the underlying land mass. As this glacier melted and water levels rose to unprecedented levels, this Kanaka structure then became a submersed mid-stream mound. Following thousands of years of battering from the torrents of such natural forces, and as water levels began to recede, the 'mound' then became a natural trap for alluvial matter. Giant crevices became filled and, sand, clay and gravels began to accumulate on the lee side of the 'mound,' and likewise on the lee side of the natural bedrock bridge adjoining the 'mound' to the land mass on the west side of the river, creating an upper channel which also filled as the river slowly receded. These dynamic chain of events thus carved out one of the more spectacular placer properties to be had.
Commodities common to the area, include fine to nugget size gold and platinum, jade and non-precious gem stones. In addition to river-side activities and the crevice prospectus, research suggests the likelihood of an ancient channel deposit where waters once crossed the upper bench on the west side of the 'mound.'
The more prime prospecting season for the area ranges from March to November, with the spring high water season occurring late May to June. However, it would not be uncommon to witness other individuals working their properties along the Fraser, almost year round.

The Kanaka tenures (as listed above - Gold 'n Gems, Gems Too, Poke Full and High Ender) are best accessed from the west side of the river, through crossing the Fraser by ferry at Lytton, thence traveling south along a gravel road and following the power line as it more-or-less parallels the Fraser. During summer months, the properties may also be accessed from the south, via the Nahatlatch Road, a good two lane gravel road leading north from North Bend (Boston Bar), to where the road crosses the Nahatlatch, thence through taking a slightly rougher yet passable road, to the claim area. The northern and southern points of entry to the claim areas are as follows: from the north, entering the southwest corner of the Gems Too claim, Longitude 121° 34' 34.6" Latitude 50° 07' 45.9"; and from the south, at Latitude 50° 07' 45.9"

The closest areas of commerce would be Lytton to the north or Boston Bar to the south.
Closest area of commerce and conveniences - Boston Bar. Boston Bar, like other towns along the Fraser Canyon, came to being because of the gold found in the area. Today, the railroads are the largest employer of this town with a population of approximately 890. Gold Rush history as with native culture are visible throughout the community. There are motels, a hotel, a resort, campgrounds, restaurants, complete fueling facilities, area fishing and, for the venturous, river rafting. |
|
Lytton is a quaint settlement with a population of approximately 360, situate immediately adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway at the head of the Fraser Canyon, where the Thompson River merges with the Fraser, approximately 85 kilometers (51 miles) from Kamloops, or, a pleasant 3 hour drive from Vancouver, through breath-taking scenery. Gold rush history as well as native culture are visible through the different buildings and activities. The community and area's conveniences comprise motels, a campsite, fueling facilities, restaurants and a few shops. Lytton is perhaps best known as the Rafting Capital of Canada. Numerous first class commercial rafting companies guide visitors through the white waters of these adventurous river routes. For those seeking "tamer" activities, hiking, camping and fishing are all available within close proximity to the town.

GPEX LXXXV #536494 Cameron Bar and GPEX CLII #539845 Cameron Bar 2 and GPEX LXXXVI #536495 Siwhe Point |
![]() |
The above three noted tenures, being contiguous to their successive neighbor, were staked by GPEX as a result of extensive research into promising placer prospects along the famed Fraser River Gold Corridor. Each bears realistic potential for recovery of both gold and platinum, if worked accordingly. These properties may be purchased individually or, as a group, and if desired, amalgamated to become one tenure. Each of the Cameron properties is a 1 cell tenure, with the Siwhe tenure holding three cells. Combined, they comprise 102.969 hectares (254.43 acres) and offer 1.9 kilometers of frontage along the Fraser River.
Cameron Bar
Note: This property is ideal for the recreational miner, yet holds high potential for a small-scale mining operation. The claim is situate only 2.1 kilometers downstream from the tenure of an active machine placer operation.
The 'Cameron Bar' placer claim (Tenure #536494) is located slightly downstream from the confluence of the Nikwoi Creek and the Fraser River, approximately 19.4 kilometers NNW of Lytton, or 35.6 kilometers SE of Lillooet. The southern extremity of this claim comprises approximately 3.75 hectares of the Lytton 13A Indian Reserve, and thus, that segment is not open to operations. However, this bears not of significance as the prime ground on this claim lies outside those boundaries. This tenure offers 448 meters of shoreline, with an elevated bench and a portion of Nikwoi Creek which may be worked, all from the west side of the river. Access to the property is from the west side of the Fraser and will be later addressed.

Cameron Bar 2
Note: This property is ideal for the recreational miner, yet holds high potential for a small-scale mining operation. The claim is situate only 1.67 kilometers downstream from the tenure of an active machine placer operation.
The 'Cameron Bar 2' placer claim (Tenure #539845) is located at the confluence of the Nikwoi Creek and the Fraser River, approximately 19.9 kilometers NNW of Lytton, or 35 kilometers SE of Lillooet, and immediately upstream from the 'Cameron Bar' claim. This claim comprises prime ground on both sides of the Fraser, with gravel bars and elevated benches. During low water periods, the gravel bar on the east side becomes more exposed, enhancing on the scope of operations. Access to the property is from either side of the Fraser and will be later addressed.

Siwhe Point
Note: This property is ideal for the recreational miner, yet holds high potential for a small-scale mining operation. The claim is situate only 725 meters downstream from the tenure of an active machine placer operation.
The 'Siwhe Point' placer claim (Tenure #536495) is located at the confluence of Siwhe Creek, immediately upstream from the 'Cameron Bar 2' claim, approximately 20.4 kilometers NNW of Lytton, or 34 kilometers SE of Lillooet. The upper two cells slightly encroach on Indian Reserves, the west cell comprising 0.11 hectare onto the Lytton 4F Reserve and the east comprising 1.75 hectares onto the Lytton 32A Reserve. Those segments are not open to operations. Once again, this does not affect the better ground. This tenure offers 966 meters of river (center stream measurement), with placer potential on both sides of the Fraser. The Siwhe Point property comprises a bedrock intrusion cross-channeling the flow of the Fraser, and on the western bank the above-water segment protrudes considerably into the mainstream flow. In such event of extremely low water levels (as realized the past few years), the gravel/cobble bars on the east side of the river become substantially exposed. Thus, the property offers great opportunity for placer recovery. Access to the property may be gained from either side of the river, and will be elaborated on, hereafter.

General Access
West Side
For those claims or sections thereof, which are desired to be accessed from the west side of the Fraser, such is gained by crossing the ferry at Lytton, thence following the two lane gravel road in a northerly direction (upstream) as it more or less parallels the river, to the coordinates of desire. The Latitude coordinate of the southern boundary of the 'Cameron Bar' claim is 50° 23' 59.6" - - for the southern boundary of the 'Cameron Bar 2' claim, the coordinate is at 50° 24' 14.6" - - and that of the southern boundary of the 'Siwhe Point' tenure, lies at 50° 24' 29.6". In approaching from the west side, the roadway does not enter the claims themselves, yet stands in close proximity. The following distances from road to tenures applies: Cameron Bar claim (above the north-most latitude of Lytton 13A Indian Reserve), 198 meters; Cameron Bar 2 claim, 192 meters; and, Siwhe Point claim, 35 meters.
The upper Latitude coordinate for that section of the 'Cameron Bar' claim of which the Indian Reserve land is exempt from explorations, is 50° 24' 05.5", and the inner Longitude coordinate is 121° 40' 45.6".
East Side
For those claims or sections which are desired to be accessed from the east side of the Fraser, such is gained by traveling northwest from Lytton toward Lillooet on Highway 12, a year round two lane paved road. Access is best gained from a private woods road accessible from a ranch so located directly to the west of the Inkoiko claim, somewhat before the Cameron and Siwhe claims. The driveway to such lies at coordinates Longitude 121° 39' 51.3", Latitude 50° 22' 53.8". From such Highway 12 entrance, the distance to the upper extremity of Cameron Bar 2, adjacent to the gravel bar, is 3.3 kilometers. And to the shoreline bar in the upper reaches of the Siwhe claim, an added kilometer. Though not overly feasible, these areas can be accessed by traversing the slope from Highway 12, thence via walking along the aforesaid private roadway, distances of 530 meters and 1.3 kilometers, respectively.
Much of the land in the approach to these claims is under private ownership and it is always best to use diplomacy by firstly acquainting with the landholder before crossing such property. The Mineral Tenure Act does however, extend full right to the miner for crossing private lands. None-the-less, each individual is responsible for his actions and any damage caused.
The following is an excerpt from the Ministry's Act and Regulations
SURFACE USE A mineral title does not convey surface rights to the holder. Section 14(1) of the MTA provides the recorded holder with the right to use the surface for mining purposes only: "(1) Subject to this Act, a recorded holder may use, enter and occupy the surface of a claim or lease for the exploration and development or production of minerals or placer minerals, including the treatment of ore and concentrates, and all operations related to the exploration and development or production of minerals or placer minerals and the business of mining." No other use of the surface, such as residential or recreational, is held with a mineral title. Mineral titles located over private surface are also governed by the provisions in section 19(1) and (2) of the MTA: "(1) A person must not commence a mining activity by a method using mechanical equipment that disturbs the surface unless the recorded holder (a) first serves written notice on the owner of every surface area on which the recorded holder intends to work or intends to utilize a right of entry for that purpose, and (b) provides, within 30 days after serving the notice required by paragraph (a), a copy of the notice to the gold commissioner for that mining division and to the district inspector appointed under the Mines Act, (2) A free miner or recorded holder, or any person acting under or with the authority of a free miner or recorded holder, is liable to compensate the owner of a surface area for loss or damage caused by the entry, occupation or use of that area or right of way by or on behalf of the free miner or recorded holder for location, exploration and development, or production of minerals or placer minerals." |

| The Corner Gold placer claim is located on the Fraser River approximately 3.5 kilometers NNE of Lillooet, in the geographical vicinity of Fountain. While the claim comprises ground on both sides of the Fraser River, the primary location for placer operations is on the west bank (north side as when viewed from the map). The tenure comprises two sharp inside bends on the river, and though an individual might initially consider access a tad steep, it’s traverse nevertheless holds great opportunity for panning and sniping. Access to this claim is from the west side of the Fraser, and is gained by taking the Bridge River Road NW out of Lillooet, crossing over the bridge spanning Bridge River proper, thence immediately turning north onto the two-lane graveled West Pavillion Road. At this junction, set your road-trip odometer. Following along said road, there are two primary points where the claim might be accessed from. At approximately 4.86 kilometers, on the right (coordinates being 121° 53’ 23.9” Long, 50° 45’ 45.9” Lat), there’s a one lane road leading down and following up along the river. Such road ends at approximately the 1.25 kilometer mark, where a 110 meter walk will then place you at the claim’s lower most bend. | ![]() |
A second location for accessing the claim would be to stay on the West Pavillion Road to the 6.38 kilometer mark (coordinates being 121° 52’ 47.6” Long, 50° 45’ 06.3” Lat), thence following down a gorge with a creek crossing. This traverse is approximately 420 meters to the claim’s upper-most bend. |

Emory Placer Claim - (Fraser River)
| The Emory placer property, comprising 62.93 hectares (155.5 acres), is situate along the Fraser River, approximately 11 miles (18 kilometres) north of Hope on BC Highway #1, the Trans Canada Highway, four miles south of Yale. Nestled in a wilderness type setting on the banks of the mighty Fraser River, the claim circumferences Emory Creek Provincial Park and includes the whole of the beach, bar and flood plain, as well as cradling Emory Creek and upstream for approximately 800 metres. The Provincial Park, overlooking this tenure, offers 34 vehicle accessible campsites for the holiday a vacation traveler. Access to the property is excellent, gained either from within the Park or from a short stroll along one of the several roadside trails leading down to the riverside from parking locations along the highway. |

Throughout mining history this claim has been well renowned for producing fine and flake gold within most every pan. There has also been several reports of good pickers being found, even larger nuggets. Jade, agate, garnets and other minerals are also commonplace to the area. During the years of the Great Depression, the bar area also served as a training ground for new placer miners. However, in its own rite, the Emory placer property offers a rather unique opportunity not common to conventional gold recovery.
A sizable portion of the claim, that along the river’s frontage, is covered by a massive concentration of large, moss-covered boulders and rocks. These boulder fields lie within the flood plain areas of the Fraser and are substantially underwater during each year’s spring runoff. As is well known to placer miners, moss along a gold-bearing water corridor is Mother Nature’s best accumulator of the fine and flake gold values. As seasonal flood waters recede, these boulder fields then become fully exposed, with the moss then drying in the summer’s sun. This then offers several months in which to work the moss factor for the trapped gold. While it is illegal to destroy riparian growth along any watercourse, these moss-covered rocks, however, offer an all new consideration for mining the fine and flake gold.
Precious Metals Recovery Method
![]() |
Since GPEX initially staked the area in 2003, it has considered a recovery project not common to conventional placer mining, whereby the moss-covered rocks would be vacuumed for their gold and other precious metals content. This form of mining facilitates a rapid recovery of fully exposed and easily accessed gold-bearing entrapment, yet, does not destroy the riparian growth but rather enhances it. The compacted accumulation of fine clay/sand particles which smothers the moss’s growth, stunting its natural filtration function, is then eradicated, restoring the moss’s vitality and thereby greatly benefiting aquatic life when waters once again cover the region. With the moss capturing and accumulating a new blanket of gold with each annual rise and fall of water levels, the employ of this vacuuming method of mining thus renders the property, a ‘perpetual’ gold mine. During the current season, GPEX has conducted a mini-test project of vacuuming the moss on just a few rocks along the bar. Using a 4 cycle gas-powered vac/blower, the concept was tested and worked exceptionally well. |
|
Per moderate-size pan of vacuumed matter, well over 100 easily visible colors were recovered, along with seemingly countless ultra-fine and microscopic particles of gold. The gas-powered vacuuming of moss-covered boulders and rocks on this tenure, proved itself a dynamic new and positive method for gold recovery. |
||
Beyond the above mentioned vacuuming recovery, where commonly Nature’s fall and spring rains wash a percentage of this trapped gold to fall around the base of these boulders, conventional methods were used to further sample the top foot of gravels surrounding these moss-covered rocks. In result, each pan rendered 50 to 60 colors, of which on average, included 10 reasonable size flakes amongst the fines. Below the top foot of gravels, exists a clay layer, of which stands to further enhance recovery efforts. Additional sampling was conducted at intervals across the flood plain areas of the property, which produced from 5 to 25 visible colors per pan. No effort has thus far been engaged to ascertain gold values within the black sand factor. One must also bear in mind, this natural entrapment field has existed for thousands of years.
In that the gas powered vac comes equipped with a solid intake manifold, which in itself proved a little cumbersome to manipulate around the rocks for complete coverage, to facilitate greater ease in operation and a more thorough vacuuming job, it would be suggested to funnel the intake housing down to accommodate the attachment of a fifteen foot central vac hose, screened on its inlet to accept the particle matter while avoiding the removal of moss. This would then add convenience of manipulation and, not having to carry the vac during the recovery operations.
The Vac setup, along with two extra bags (which offer an extended work period between having to empty the bag), accompanies the purchase of this property.

The Inkoiko tenure represents yet another dynamic placer property held by GPEX. Nestled on the Fraser River just 18 kilometers north-northwest of Lytton, or, 41 kilometers downstream from Lillooet, this claim lies immediately below the renowned Cameron Bar and only 5 ½ kilometers downstream from an active machine placer operation. The recovery of placer gold from bars and benches along this stretch of the river is not uncommon to the many who have in the past and remain, working the gravels of the Fraser. As witnessed from meticulous aerial photographic study, this tenure is also situate on a cross fault or major fracturing which occurred during the early formation of the Fraser system. Izman Creek enters the claim (along such fracturing) from the east/northeast as it flows into the Fraser, while the Inkoiko Creek enters (along such fracturing) from the west/southwest. Underlying bedrock includes undivided sedimentary rocks/grandoritic intrusive rocks/lower amphibolite kyanite grade metamorphic rocks. |
![]() |
Approximately 13.8 hectares of the southwest cell of the claim lie with the Tsaukan 12 Indian Reserve, and thus, that segment is not open to operations. However, this bears not of significance as the more prime areas comprise the bend, the east and west shorelines and benches, and, the creeks which enter the Fraser within the claim's boundaries. |

Access to the tenure is excellent, and gained from Lytton, from either side of the Fraser. To access from the west side, cross via the ferry at Lytton, then travel north on the good to semi-good (pending the time of the year) gravel road, to the claim's southern boundary at Latitude coordinate 50° 22' 29.6". From the east side of the Fraser, this would require a foot approach. Travel toward Lillooet on Highway 12 to the paralleling commencement of the claim at Latitude coordinate 50° 22' 43.9", thence select a parking location (suggested, further on on the right at an off-road) and proceed down the sloping landscape, passing westward from the claim's eastern boundary at Longitude coordinate 121° 40' 12.5". |
This property is ideal for the recreational miner, yet holds high potential for a small-scale mining operation.

Capsule Geology In the area of the two Magrath placer leases, old workings on the bench about 30 meters above the present Fraser River level (ca. 1979) may stem from work done by the Chinese near the turn of the century. The work was apparently by hand with a sluice box using water from the small creek in the area. The workings are in the form of trenches of cuts (water) in the bench with larger rocks piled up along and near the end of the box. The work is fairly extensive with possibly as much as one-third of the bench having been worked (Assessment Report 7856). Three samples taken from the bench consisted of sand and gravel and were carefully panned down and studied for heavy mineral content. No effort was made to evaluate the values in gold content since the gold was very fine.

Capsule Geology A test pit was dug on 'Foster Bar' in the Fraser River in 1973. Note that this bar is not the same as the Foster Bar on NTS map 92I/12 but is a further 3 kilometers downstream. The pit was 2.7 meters deep, 1.8 meters long and 0.9 meter wide from which a total of 4.6 cubic meters were removed. The gravel was concentrated by the use of a sluice box. The concentrates taken from the sluice box were cleaned up approximately 24 times in the processing of the 4.6 cubic meter sample. All the concentrates washed from the blanket were washed out into a round bathtub and were hand panned. The 4.6 cubic meter sample yielded 163 grams gold; there was one 54-gram nugget and another one about 37 grams.
Bedrock to the north of the placer leases consists of granite and to the south, argillite and shale of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Relay Mountain Group.

The Texas-Fraser placer property is located on the Fraser River at the confluence of Texas Creek, approximately 38.5 kilometers NNW from Lytton, or 15 kilometers SE from Lillooet. This dynamic tenure offers excellent potential over 0.975 kilometers (0.6 miles) of prime river frontage, with workable ground being primarily on the west side of the Fraser. In early geological times when the water level of this great river system ran several hundred meters higher than that of the present, the land mass which now makes up this claim was a submersed mid-stream mound, serving as a natural entrapment for alluvial matter. The claim comprises two inside river bends, a shoreline of cobble, gravel and sand, the out-wash of Texas Creek, and, upper bench and plateau areas which through extensive research, suggests of an old tertiary channel. To be noted, the south-east cell of this tenure borders into the Nesikep 6a Indian Reserve, of which such 5.72 hectares of the claim is not open for explorations. The tenure portion on the west side of the Fraser may be accessed from either the Lytton end (south) or Lillooet end (north). From the south, cross the Fraser by ferry at Lytton, thence travel in a northerly direction along the two lane gravel road which meanders the scenic topography as it more or less parallels Fraser, until reaching the tenure's southern boundary at Latitude coordinate 50° 33’ 29.6”. For an approach from the north, or Lillooet end, take BC Highway 99 leading south to cross the bridge at Cayoosh Creek, thence at the second left fork at coordinates Longitude 121° 55’ 57.4” Latitude 50° 40’ 33.9” turn south to follow the same road which leads north from Lytton. Following along said road turn east into a ranch road at coordinates 121° 49’ 07.4” Latitude 50° 33’ 07.0”. |
