Brothers strike gold in B.C.’s Golden Triangle treasure hunt

What started as a 50th birthday road trip turned into a real-life gold discovery in the mountains of northwestern British Columbia.

Jason and Matthew Schwartz spent months decoding clues, researching mining history and planning their search before trekking into Kleanza Creek Provincial Park near Terrace — where they uncovered the Golden Triangle regional bonus prize in The Northern Miner’s Great Canadian Treasure Hunt: six ounces of gold !

MINING.COM’s Devan Murugan speaks with the Schwartz brothers about the moment they heard the words “I found it,” the thrill of searching deep in the BC wilderness, and how the adventure brought two brothers together across 4,000 kilometres.
