The Brady placer gold occurrence is located on a bar on the Coquihalla River, nearly opposite the mouth of Peers (Pierre) Creek.

The rocks underlying the area belong to the Permian-Jurassic Hozameen Complex.

From 1914 to 1916, John Brady and L.W. Cherry recovered coarse gold by sluicing gravel taken from shafts and from the bank of the Coquihalla River. A wing-dam and a flume 30 metres long were constructed by 1915.

During 2008 through 2010, Peers Creek was prospected and panned for precious metals as the Peers 1-4 claims. In 2008, 11 small nuggets, collectively weighing 1.423 grams, and fine gold were recovered (Assessment Report 30881). In 2010, 0.75 cubic metres of gravel yielded two small, 2 to 3 millimetres, gold nuggets and one small, 2 millimetre, platinum nugget (Assessment Report 31537).
