The Matson Creek Gold mine has a rich history of gold mining using sluicing to recover the gold. With relatively low overburden 10 - 12 feet this was a quick and easy way of minng.

Even with all of the mining activity that has occurred on Matson Creek, there has never been an operation in the Matson Creek area that has utilized the latest technology in gold, heavy metal collection. For this reason, 40% - 80% of the gold was lost in the process of slucing!

With better mining technology the Matson Creek Gold mine still has nearly $1.5 Billion in gold to be recovered.
