This placer gold property, in the vicinity of Strawberry Island, was estimated to contain 1,529,118 cubic metres of gravel with an overall grade estimated at 6 dollars per cubic metre (George Cross New Letter No.227, 1978). The same source reported that a 33 kilogram sample of upgraded black sand concentrate assayed 1371 grams per tonne gold and 1200 grams per tonne silver. Reports indicate that Quatsino Copper-Gold Mines operated a producing placer operation during 1978 and possibly in 1979. The company expected production to reach 764 cubic metres of gravel per shift.
