Marcos a lot of people just don't know how nice the West of the US and Canada really is. I think that Trail is in the Siskiyous but maybe not. Close en.wikipedia.org Idaho is the gem and mineral state. Montana is pretty darn good too.

The Cascades have considerable platinum potential as there is much mafic and ultramafic intrusion. The Tulameen is in the Cascades. The range is bounded by the Columbia river on the Easte side and is known thru BC, Washington and Oregon for its placer gold locales as well as many lead-zinc occurences, perhaps several hundred vein type deposits, that have been mined for the past 200 years. One of the most exciting possibilities of the Cascades is its unrestricited geothermal potential, sure to be of interest as new energy sources become more important. The northeastern Cascades are known for mineral deposits of various geologic ages. Triassic calc-silicate gneiss, biotite schist, and marble were hosts to the state's largest copper producer, the Holden mine in Chelan County. It produced 207 million pounds of copper along with zinc, silver, and gold from 1938 to 1957. There is a porphyry copper deposit in a Cretaceous stock near Mazama. The largest copper deposit in the state is at Miners Ridge in Snohomish County. There, drilling has outlined a porphyry copper resource of 1.9 billion tons averaging 0.334% Cu and 0.015% MoS2. The host is the Miocene Cloudy Pass pluton dated at 21 Ma. This deposit will not be developed because it is within the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area. At Wenatchee, the Cannon mine is currently the second largest underground gold mine in the country. The stockwork mineralization is of the epithermal type and is associated with Eocene rhyodacite intrusions. EC<:-}
