British Columbia's Golden Triangle hosts some of the world's largest, richest metal deposits, with the first major gold discovery in the region dating back to the early 1900s.
Roughly the size of Portugal , the mining district stretches from the city of Stewart in the south to the Alaskan panhandle in the north. It is home to a range of precious and base metals, including gold , silver , copper , jade, zinc , obsidian and nickel .
Today, the Golden Triangle is a hotbed of exploration. Receding glaciers further heighten the region's prospective value , unveiling previously inaccessible deposits.
