Moe River Gold Project

General Information

The gold bearing gravels of the Moe river valley has attracted prospectors since the 1800's.

Between 1958 and 1962, Tamara Mining Limited worked in the Moe River area, under the direction of R. W. Howe, P.Eng., and G. A. Blair, P.Eng. G. A. Blair worked in the Moe River area for about five years, after which he was able to define a resource based on the volume of gravels in the terraces along the river. He concluded that there were between 45 to 48 million cubic yards of material in all of the terraces containing a total of 400,000 ounces of gold. Prior to development; however, Blair recommended additional test work in the form of test pits and drilling. (Blair, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1962).
