Overview
The Cariboo gold district in British Columbia, Canada, was a world-class producer of gold, and site of the famous Cariboo Gold Rush between 1861 and 1867. The district produced approximately 3.8 million ounces (Moz) of gold after 1874, divided roughly evenly between hard rock gold and placer gold production valued at C$50 million.
Today, the Cariboo gold district remains a prospective and mining-friendly region with excellent infrastructure. Interest in the region has been renewed with recent transactions including the acquisition of Barkerville Gold Mines, now held by Osisko Development Corp. (TSXV:ODV).
Other notable names in the Cariboo gold district include Omineca Mining and Metals (TSXV:OMM) with its Wingdam Gold project, Imperial Metals' (TSE:III) Mount Polley mine and Taseko Mines' (TSX:TKO) Gibraltar mine. Mining companies with projects in the Cariboo gold district present investors with renewed discovery potential in a historically significant area.
According to Green River Gold (CSE:CCR) CEO Perry Little, "The hunt is on."
Green River Gold is exploring gold, as well as nickel, cobalt and talc, in the historically prolific Cariboo gold district. The company's highly prospective and potentially high-grade project features excellent access to infrastructure, including roads, power and skilled workers.

The fully owned Fontaine Lode Gold project spans 8,900 hectares and is located 12 kilometers from Barkerville which was the epicenter of the Cariboo Gold Rush in 1860. The Fontaine Lode Gold project is contiguous to Osisko's Cariboo Gold Project, which is anticipated to begin production in the latter half of 2023.
The Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc project is contiguous to the early-stage Fontaine Lode Gold project that spans approximately 2,219 hectares. The project has similar geological features to FPX Nickel's (TSXV:FPX) Decar Nickel District project, which some consider the third top nickel project in the world. Historic work on the Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc project suggests significant potential for all three minerals. In 2021, nine shallow holes were drilled revealing anomalous amounts of nickel, chromium and magnesium along with talc. Ongoing drilling showed two deeper holes with similar results.
The
Kymar Silver project includes two mineral tenures spanning 1,440 hectares in southeastern British Columbia. It is located 28 kilometers west of Invermere in the Golden Mining Division in British Columbia. A historical bulk sample of Kymar Silver revealed high average grades of 2,000 g/t silver, 57 percent lead, 0.8 percent copper and 3.4 g/t gold. The property also features several past-producing artisanal mines.

Green River Gold has strategic positioning in highly prospective geological areas near past-producing mines. The Fontaine Lode Gold project features similar geology to Osisko Development Corp.'s Cariboo Gold project which it borders. The Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc project also borders Omineca Mining and Metals' Wingdam Gold project.
In an interview, CEO Perry Little shared, "Every hole drilled and every bit of exploration done by Osisko, Omineca or Green River will lead to a greater understanding of the regional geology."
Currently, Green River Gold is conducting exploration activities on its properties including bedrock mapping, geochemical exploration, ground geophysics and backpack drilling. Green River Gold is also in the process of applying for permits to commence reverse circulation and diamond drilling on its properties. The company is committed to producing a NI 43-101 technical report in a timely manner.

Green River Gold is led by a highly experienced management team with over 60 years of combined technical experience and over 30 years of capital market experience. CEO Perry Little has an impressive 28-year-long successful career with extensive experience in financing junior resource companies and trading in the public markets.

Key Projects
Fontaine Lode Gold
The Fontaine Lode Gold project is a 100-percent-owned prospective gold project that includes placer and hard-rock tenures spanning 90 square kilometers in the historic Cariboo gold district in British Columbia. The project is located approximately 12 kilometers southwest of the historic Barkerville town, which was the epicenter of the original Cariboo Gold Rush that started in 1860. The property straddles 18 kilometers of length on the Quesnel Barkerville and Slide Mountain terranes.

From the 1970s to the 1980s, prospecting and sampling were conducted on the property. The Fontaine Lode Gold project features similar geology to Osisko Development Corp.'s Cariboo Gold project which it borders. The Cariboo Gold project has an indicated resource of 3.2 Moz of gold grading 4.64 g/t gold and an inferred resource of 2.72 Moz of gold grading 3.91 g/t gold.
Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc
The Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc project is an early-stage prospective silver project that includes eight mineral claims spanning approximately 2,219 hectares in the Cariboo gold district in British Columbia. The project is located next to the Fontaine Gold project and has similar geological features to FPX Nickel's Decar Nickel District project, considered by some to be the third-top nickel project in the world. The Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc project borders Omineca Mining and Metals' Wingdam Gold project and is on trend with the Eureka Thrust, which runs on the Wingdam project.

Historical drilling conducted on the project's nickel and talc anomalies as well as limited rock sampling and analyses suggest the potential for high-grade nickel. The Quesnel Nickel Cobalt Talc project features surface outcrops of nickel, cobalt and talc.
Kymar Silver
The Kymar Silver is a prospective silver project that includes mineral tenures spanning 1,440 hectares in the Cariboo gold district in British Columbia. The project is located 28 kilometers west of Invermere in the Golden Mining Division in British Columbia and along the southeast portion of Mount Catherine. Mineralization on the Kymar Silver project includes silver, lead, gold and zinc hosted in polymetallic veins within a zone along a normal fault. The polymetallic veins exist within the Purcell Supergroup strata, including the Mount Nelson and Dutch Creek formations.
The Kymar Silver project includes several past-producing artisanal mines. In 1926, a bulk sample from the property revealed average grades of 2,000 g/t silver, 57 percent lead, 0.8 percent copper and 3.4 g/t gold. Kymar Silver has six high-grade targets based on historical production, shafts and stockpiles and other workings. Grab samples from the areas of the old artisanal mines were taken in October 2021. Assay results are expected by the end of November 2021.
