Event Schedule

Prospecting and Sluicing campout weekend

This is something new we are trying this year. We will head out and prospect for gold. We will look for river access and then start prospecting. Some members are familiar with the area and will guide the group to their known spots to prospect. With luck we will find a spot quickly and setup to go for gold! This event is open to members only, and an Alberta Recreational Placer Mining License is required for anyone planning to attend.

Gold Dust Dinner

This is a “Show us what you got” event. Members bring their gold, gems stones, anything they have collected or worked on over the summer. There are prizes for categories such as pictures, gold displays, rock displays, jewellery, and metal detector findings.
