Key Points:
- The first announcement of a new lode gold discovery on Otter Creek was made by British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) geologists in a 2017 published paper titled "A new lode gold discovery at Otter Creek: another source for the Atlin placers."
- Garibaldi had previously acquired 100% ownership of the hard rock mineral rights on the discovery section of Otter Creek.
- The Otter Creek lode gold discovery provides strong evidencethat Atlin's rich coarse crystalline gold placers are sourced from proximal high-grade gold veins rather than previously assumed eroded distal listwanite deposits.
- In 2017, the British Columbia Geological Survey published a paper titled "A new lode gold discovery at Otter Creek: another source for the Atlin placers."
