"Today, very few people are engaged in mining activities and the mining is seen as a colorful part of the past. Tourism and wine production are the money and lifestyle industries of the day. Bedrock mining is not sustainable today, on a large scale, even though high-grade gold deposits remain."

The Indata property, located northwest of Prince George, BC has been owned by Eastfield or it's associated company, Wildrose Resources Ltd., since 1986. Its 146 claim units covering 3,650 ha (9,000 acres) are road accessible. A significant lode gold discovery made in 1987 was instrumental in causing Placer Dome Canada to complete two corporate private placements in Eastfield in 1988 and 1989 (300,000 shares at $1.10 a share and 300,000 shares at $2.00 a share).
Castillian Resources Corp. and Aberdeen International Inc., have an option to earn a 65% interest in the project by completing $1,000,000 in exploration before 2008.
At Indata, drilling completed between 1987 and 1989 included a number of significant gold intercepts along a 600 m strike length. The predominant structural break hosting the gold mineralization at Indata (identifiable by geophysical and geochemical signature) has been defined over a distance of 1,000m from the most northerly drill hole and remains to be drill tested.
Aberdeen funded the 2005 program that consisted of 254 metres of drilling in two holes. The drill program was problematic and the most important hole, targeting deeper levels below hole 98-4 with 154 metres grading 0.20% copper was abandoned after repeated unsuccessful attempts to drill through a fault zone. The second hole, drilled 1600 metres to the south, returned narrow intersections of 0.12% copper. Several styles of mineralization exist on the Indata property including gold-silver veins and porphyry style copper (gold) mineralization hosted in volcanic rocks and granodiorite intrusions. Hole 1988-4, drilled in 1988 and located in an adjacent gold structure, intersected 4 metres grading 47.260 g/t gold.
