Rocky Mountains. Moreover, it is reported that no colours are found by panning
creeks draining the east side of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia.

No mineralization is known to occur in the Plains Region east of the Rocky
Mountains.

The absence of known placer- and lode-gold deposits in the Rocky Mountains and
Plains, together with the lack of known intrusive rocks, indicates that the part of
British Columbia lying east of the Rocky Mountain Trench between Lower Post and
Téte Jaune is not an attractive region for lode-gold prospecting.
