Cariboo Gold Production

My beautiful picture

Placer gold production from the Cariboo District is estimated at 2.65 million ounces. The Cariboo gold rush began in 1858 with the discovery of nugget gold in Keithley Creek. In the following years prospectors explored watersheds to the north, and found placer gold in many creeks, including Cunningham Creek and Antler Creeks and their tributaries.

Historic recorded gold production of selected Cariboo placer stream areas between 1874 and 1945 is listed below.
