Extract from Precious metal bearing alluvial sands underlie a 400 to 800 metre wide section of the Lillooet River valley, 31 kilometres northwest of the north end of Harrison Lake.
These post Pleistocene sands contain gold and platinum in submicron sized particles. A sample of the material assayed 11.56 dollars per tonne in combined gold and platinum (at 1970 prices) (Property File - Kirwan, G.L. (1970) p. 6). The sands are estimated to contain inferred reserves of 22.7 million tonnes down to a depth of 30 metres (Property File - Kirwan, G.L. (1970) pp. 3,4).
