The Cariboo gold mining district is located in central British Columbia, Canada. Recorded gold production from the area totals more than 3.87 million ounces, including an estimated 2.64 million ounces from placer mining from 101 creeks and 1.23 million ounces from lode mining. The district consists of two dominant metallogenic series of gold deposits: quartz vein and pyrite replacement styles. The quartz vein series includes strike vein, diagonal vein, orthogonal vein, and quartz veinlets, while the pyrite replacement includes replacement in limestone and that in calcareous clastic rock.
