This is "Cassiar Gold," a rare, district-scale mining and real estate package in one of British Columbia’s most storied gold-rich regions. This is an opportunity for a serious operator or a private investor looking to secure a massive land position in the Cassiar Mining District.

Asset Composition

Approximately 15,000 acres (nearly 6,000 hectares) of placer claims located on the west side of Dease Lake. Approximately 75% of this ground remains virgin and untouched, providing decades of work potential.

The Dease Lake Base: A private, 22-acre waterfront acreage serving as the headquarters. It includes a handcrafted 3,085 sq. ft. log home (built 1995), a square log guest cabin (2012), a heritage Hudson Bay building, and a massive industrial shop on cement slab.

Included in the sale is an extensive equipment list and a significant stockpile of mined Jade (approx. 300,000 kgs), adding immediate liquid asset value of approximately $1,500,000 to the acquisition.

The property is remote and wild, yet strategically accessible. Main access is via boat or barge across Dease Lake, with secured foreshore leases ensuring long-term utility. A rough, seasonal road provides heavy equipment access. This is a "lifestyle business" in its truest form—offering the thrill of gold production alongside the security of significant real estate and mineral assets.

This family legacy is coming to market for the first time. It is a fully-equipped, functioning operation with enough "blue sky" potential to last a lifetime.

Real Property Included

Living Accommodation:

The 22-acre waterfront base on Dease Lake features multiple dwellings and operational buildings providing comfortable owner/operator living and ample crew housing.
The primary residence is a custom handcrafted log home built in 1995, approximately 3,085 sq. ft. over 3 levels with 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (3rd bathroom roughed in). A square log construction cabin (built 2012) and a heritage cabin - believed to be the original Laketon Hudson's Bay building dating to the 1870s - provide additional living quarters. Two mobile homes on skids offer flexible crew accommodation that can be repositioned as operations require.
Operational infrastructure includes a large shop (early 2000s, cement slab) housing an extensive tools and parts inventory, a barn/shop (cement slab), and a storage shed (cement slab, converted from the original shop), along with various other outbuildings.
The property sits on the water's edge of Dease Lake with primary access via a short boat ride across the lake. Trucks and heavy equipment are barged across. Foreshore leases on both sides of the lake secure long-term access. Seasonal road access around the lake is also available for transporting large equipment to site.
The heritage cabin is a genuine conversation piece that adds character and historical significance to the property - a tangible connection to BC's original gold rush era.

Location:

Dease Lake, Northern BC (Cassiar Region). The operational base sits on 22 waterfront acres on the west side of Dease Lake, with placer claims spanning nearly 6,000 hectares across Dease Creek and multiple surrounding creeks and drainages. Accessible via Highway 37 (Stewart-Cassiar Highway). Dease Lake serves as the regional hub with fuel, supplies, and air service

Premises Details:

Fully operational base including custom-built log home, cabins, 2 mobile homes on skids, and a fully equipped shop. The property is turnkey with a complete heavy equipment package included in the sale. Infrastructure supports both gold placer mining and jade recovery operations. 300,000 kgs of mined jade (estimated value $2M+) included and ready for market.

Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

There is substantial expansion potential. Approximately 75% of the claim area is virgin, untouched ground with proven gold-bearing geology. Expansion opportunities include increasing mining output on existing claims, developing the jade inventory pipeline, and potential for additional claim staking in the surrounding area. The established infrastructure and equipment package can support significantly scaled-up operations without major additional capital investment.

Competition / Market:

Minimal Competition. The Cassiar region has limited active placer operations relative to its gold-bearing potential. Claim boundaries are established and secure. This operation's scale - nearly 6,000 hectares - creates a significant competitive advantage that would be extremely difficult and costly to replicate through new claim staking.
