Casper is a vein showing that was identified by a prospecting, soil and rock sampling program in 2016 as part of a program on the Palm Springs (PSP) property. It is located approximately 2 kilometres south of the McLymont Creek access road, south of Iskut River, approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Bob Quinn Lake on Highway 37.

In 2019 Garibaldi Resources Corp. tested the quartz vein was with 21 shallow drill holes to a maximum depth of 2.5 metres using a Shaw Back Pack Drill. Eighteen of the holes returned significant gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralization. Ten holes returned at least one 0.60 metre interval grading between 12.6 grams per tonne Au and 64.6 grams per tonne Au while silver grades from those samples along 17 metres of strike ranged from 16.3 grams per tonne to 90.5 grams per tonne. Eight channel samples across the Casper vein returned a weighted average of 7.36 grams per tonne Au over a mean length of 0.62 metre (Press Release, Garibaldi Resources February 28, 2020).

In 2020 Garibaldi Resources Corp. obtained a total of 61 Channel sample assays returning gold grades ranging from 0.676 gram per tonne gold up to 93.29 grams per tonne gold from a Channel sample that contained visible gold. The Casper quartz vein system remains open with mineralized rock samples extending along trend for 330 metres. (Press Release, Garibaldi Resources September 29, 2020).
