About

Our Mission
Our Mission
To apply best practices in mining operations, provide environmentally sound conservation while delivering excellent value to our partner community, investors, employees, and stakeholders.
High quality and superior service is the company’s top priority while servicing our clients.
The company also recognizes and respects the rights of our Native Peoples.
Our Philosophy
When asked what the real difference is between a placer gold operation where you are moving tonnes of rock to find ounces of gold versus a combined gold and gravel operation, the Chairman of Canyon Gold’s answer was straightforward:
“In a gravel operation, every bucket of earth you move makes money!”
– Peter Osha, Chairman
Our Market
The Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley consists of over 35 sizeable sand, gravel and cement company locations, independent operators, and hundreds of landscape and garden centres. There is a high demand for sand and gravel, with prices ranging from $15 to $50 plus for high-value river gravel in this major ‘Construction Hub’ market. All three services of project revenue, including gold, gravel and tipping fees (from the clean fill) are virtually “recession-proof”.
We expect to sell all of our annual 250,000 tons of production by the second year of operations.
Our marketing strategy is to supply a superior product, 10% heavier, no clay, exceptional sized diversity, at a reasonable price, while providing outstanding service.
