Similkameen Gold Camps

 

 

Historically, with the Town of Princeton serving as the hub, the earliest discovery of placer gold in the region was on the Upper Similkameen River as early as 1858. At first, this created a small influx of prospectors who then recovered gold (and later, platinum when recognized for its value) from the waters of this region. In the few ensuing years, explorations extended northward, resulting in discoveries being made on Granite Creek, thus sparking the beginning of the Tulameen Mining District. Since those early days and to date, sizable gold and platinum nuggets, and, fine gold and platinum, have been won from the renowned waters of both the Upper Similkameen River and Tulameen River Districts. These two regions became the primary focus for a large numbers of miners flooding into the area, creating the boomtowns of Blackfoot, Blackfoot Flats, Granite City and the Village of Tulameen. Geographically, these high-producing watercourses merge at the Town of Princeton, where the Tulameen River reaches its terminus and enters the Similkameen. Thereafter, values of gold and platinum are carried downstream, as the East Similkameen etches eastward to its terminus, slightly below the International Border at Oroville, in Washington State. Oroville is situate immediately south of Osoyoos, BC.

Comprised within the following listings are available placer properties for sale, within the combined Gold and Platinum Districts of the Greater Similkameen River and Tulameen River basins. For convenience herein, the Similkameen District will be divided into the Upper Similkameen District (extending south from Princeton to Manning Park) and the East Similkameen District (that extending eastward from Princeton to the Stemwinder area).

East Similkameen River Gold District

The East Similkameen River Gold District offers the best of the outflow from both historic river districts, that of the Upper Similkameen and Tulameen Rivers. Each year, immeasurable amounts of gold and platinum [fines, float and potentially sizable nuggets] is transported down this river system from the upper gold fields, perpetually refreshing the East Similkameen River’s overall potential. Random sampling results has ranged from 20 to 50 colors per [small] pan from bank run material and gravels, to [by example], where one client has reported a recovery of two grams over ten pans, from bank run material. With other clients who purchased GPEX properties, making reports, using expressions of being “more than pleased” to “I’ve really hit the bonanza.” There remains in portfolio, eight gold and platinum placer properties available on the Similkameen River east of the Town of Princeton. These tenures present themselves as being ideal for all, ranging from the recreational enthusiast to the more serious-minded small-scale placer miner. In considering the purchase of a quality property, bear in mind that GPEX’s outlook is not in seeking exorbitant returns from its claims but rather focuses on offering prospecting opportunities at affordable prices. The quality of a claim cannot be measured by its low price. With today’s soaring gold prices, a return on the initial investment could be rapidly realized. Purchase for yourself or, as a group with one or more prospecting buddies. The “East Similkameen” group of tenures extends over a 9 kilometre stretch of the river, 22 kilometres downstream (via the river’s course - or 19 air kilometres) from the colorful Town of Princeton. These properties commence in the vicinity of Bromley Rock Provincial Park and extend eastward to the general locality of Stemwinder, 4.5 kilometres west of the celebrated and historic gold camp of Hedley. Access to all properties would be considered excellent, with BC Highway #3 abutting the south side of the Similkameen River, and the Old Hedley Road similarly traversing the river’s north side. Located only minutes from the charm and commerce of old Princeton, Bromley Rock Provincial Park offers several camping sites overlooking the river, in addition to three vast Forestry camping sites situate along the claim areas on the Old Hedley Road side of the river. These locations facilitates rough camping up to (non-serviced) motorhome camping, while offering picturesque riverside views with an ambient atmosphere, thus enhancing the overall prospecting venture. This region is also, ideally suited for the family setting. Princeton, though a smaller community of approx. 3000, offers many services and hosts numerous retail outlets (please view further details on Princeton).
