Back to the Cariboo: Gold Rush History Meets Modern Discovery | Golden Cariboo [DD-on-the-GO]

 

 

 

 

In a market where “show me” is the mantra and the era of speculative hype is long gone, one explorer is putting real numbers behind its ambitions. Golden Cariboo Resources is drilling in the heart of British Columbia’s historic Cariboo Gold District—mere kilometers from where Billy Barker ignited one of North America’s most legendary gold rushes. But this isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about results.

 

In this episode, Steve Hyland travels to central BC to uncover the story of Frank Callahan, the veteran geologist who helped uncover the very system now being mined by billion-dollar developer Osisko Metals.

 

After nearly a decade in retirement, Frank is back, leading Golden Caribou’s exploration at the Halo Zone—and the early results are turning heads: 136.5m of 1.46 g/t Au, long intercepts across multiple zones, and consistent mineralization across every hole drilled.

 

While Artemis and Osisko move shovels and billions in the same region, Golden Caribou is a $5 million market cap stock with 5¢ shares—still at the beginning of its journey. But with infrastructure, access, and geology all in its favor, could this be the next early-stage name to rewrite the future of this storied district?

 

We dive into:

  • The untold history of the Cariboo Gold Belt
  • Frank’s rollercoaster career
  • Why this camp may have another major discovery left in it
  • What makes Golden Caribou’s drill results so compelling
  • How government support and nearby billion-dollar builds are shifting the mining narrative in BC
