Cassiar Gold — Placer Mining Claims & Waterfront Acreage For Sale, Dease Lake, NW BC

The Cassiar Gold package is making its first-ever appearance on the market. It represents a family's lifetime of work in one of BC's most gold-rich regions — and an opportunity for a buyer to step directly into that legacy with a producing operation, an enormous inventory of proven and virgin ground, and a fully equipped remote base property that functions as both a working camp and a permanent residence.

The placer claims encompass almost 6,000 hectares — nearly 15,000 acres — on the west side of Dease Lake, taking in much of Dease Creek and multiple other creeks and drainages in the Cassiar region of northwestern BC. Approximately 75% or more of those claims are virgin, untouched ground. The claims that have been worked are producing gold. The combination of proven production and an extensive inventory of unworked ground is the core of the value proposition here.

The 22-acre lakefront base property on Dease Lake serves as the operational headquarters. It includes a custom-built log home, a second square log cabin, a heritage cabin dated to the 1870s, a large fully equipped shop, a barn, storage shed, and two mobile homes. The asset list extends to extensive equipment across the operation and approximately 300,000 kilograms of mined jade already extracted and ready to go to market — with an estimated market value of approximately $2 million on its own.

The placer claims are the primary asset in this package. Nearly 6,000 hectares covering much of Dease Creek and multiple adjacent creeks and drainages on the west side of Dease Lake — a region with a documented gold-bearing history going back well over a century. The Cassiar district produced significant placer gold during the 19th century rush and has continued to produce intermittently since. These are not speculative claims on untested ground.

Approximately 75% or more of the total claim area is described as virgin and untouched — ground that has never been run through a wash plant. The claims that have been worked have demonstrated their productivity. A buyer with the equipment, knowledge, and commitment to work this ground systematically has a lifetime of material in front of them, with the added security of knowing the ground has already proven itself in producing areas.

The base property — 22 acres on the water's edge of Dease Lake — is not a rough camp. It has been developed by a family over decades into a fully functional remote operation with handcrafted structures, a comprehensively stocked shop, and permanent residential accommodation.

The base property takes in 22 acres on the water's edge of Dease Lake. Primary access is by a short boat ride across the lake, with trucks and equipment barged across as needed. The property includes foreshore leases on either side of the lake — a critical tenure detail that secures access for future years regardless of how the surrounding land tenure evolves.

Rough, seasonal road access around the lake is also available for transporting large equipment to site when water access is not practical. This dual-access arrangement gives the operator meaningful flexibility in how the property is provisioned and worked across different seasons.

In addition to the gold claims and real property, the asset list includes approximately 300,000 kilograms of mined jade already extracted from the property and ready to go to market. At current market values, the jade inventory alone is estimated at approximately $2 million — a meaningful embedded asset sitting within the overall asking price.
