The Sqwum Princeton claim is a road accessible placer gold claim located in the historic Lawless Creek area, just outside Tulameen, British Columbia. Situated in one of the province’s best known placer gold districts, this property offers excellent access and outstanding recreational and exploration potential.
Access is straightforward via Tulameen River Road and the Lawless Creek Forest Service Road, followed by a short drive on established forestry roads to the claim.
The Tulameen district has produced placer gold for well over a century and remains one of British Columbia’s premier prospecting destinations. The claim features a productive mountain creek with exposed bedrock, gravel bars, and numerous natural gold traps that provide excellent opportunities for continued exploration.
Previous prospecting on the claim recovered visible placer gold from every test location. Bedrock crevices produced the highest gold values, with one site yielding 2 to 3 times more gold per pan than nearby gravel bars, confirming the property’s strong exploration potential.
Whether you are looking for a recreational mining property, a weekend prospecting destination, or an investment in one of British Columbia’s most productive placer districts, the Sqwum Princeton claim represents an excellent opportunity.
