Placer Mining in the Peace River Region [Abstract]
Placer gold in the Peace River valley is known to occur from Finlay Forks to the mouth of the Notikewin River. Occurrences are, with one exception, confined to the Peace itself.
The gold of the area is very fine, and becomes finer in a downstream direction. Because of this, values are concentrated in or just below gravels and sands moved onto the upstream ends of bars during high water stages.
A chronology of placer mining on the Peace is given.
