Water and septic permitting and engineering are underway, with results pending.\n\n## Golden Cariboo's $300K Hixon Property Purchase\n\nThe property consists of two freehold lots totaling 5.36 acres, bought for $300K. Camp trailers have been mobilized to the site, according to the company's [own announcement](http://www.goldencariboo.com/s/Home.asp).\n\nThe camp is intended to enable 12-month operations at the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, which the company said could accelerate drilling pace and news flow. Water tests and permits remain pending, and the company said regulatory timing is a gating factor.\n\nThe company said the camp supports growth of its NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Golden Cariboo said on-site control lowers logistics costs and dependence on third parties.\n\n## Golden Cariboo's Path to the Hixon Purchase\n\nIn September 2026, Golden Cariboo announced that independent consultants were finalizing its inaugural mineral resource estimate for the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property in British Columbia, Yahoo reported.
