The geology of the area .....
is such that the whole region was smashed around during the glacial era. Every year massive natural run-off, erosion, and slides occur without the help of mining outfits. Each year the Creeks of the area are constantly being replenished with Gold from the erosion of the Placer deposits. Twice the amount of Gold has been taken out of the Likely/Barkerville area than all of the combined Gold in British Columbia.
