WILD WEST GOLD CORP.’s (3) three claim groups are located in the Bralorne area that has a colourful history rich in gold! Bralorne and Pioneer were the most important gold mines in BC for much of the 20th century. A gold mining town that once boomed in the 1930s and produced over 3 million ounces of gold, the biggest lode producer in BC.
The first gold nuggets were found in the Bridge River Valley in 1858 by early prospectors. In 1897, three men hiked in from Lillooet to Cadwallader Creek looking for gold. They made three claims - the Lorne, Marquis and the Golden King. These would form the core of the complex of claims which became the Bralorne Mine. Arthur Noel bought the claims and worked them sporadically, holding on in bad times, waiting for the good. Unfortunately, the mine became tied up in litigation and stood idle for a dozen years. By 1914 Pioneer Gold Mines was set up with more industrial equipment, boilers and modern rock mill. The site worked through the 1920s and the profitable King vein exploited.

In 1931 Austin C. Taylor and associates acquired the Bralorne property and financed construction of a 100 ton mill. The Bralorne Mine operated from March 1932 until 1971. During the depression, men flocked to the region to work as miners for the high wages of up to $5 per day. The collapse of world markets and the solid price of gold in the Depression caused a boom in Bralorne and men and investment ramped up production. The district was one of the few bright lights in the BC economy during the Depression - in a seven-year period in the 1930s the mines of the Bridge River produced $370,000,000 in gold. In the 40 years of operation, over 100 miles of underground tunnels were dug under Bralorne.
