Squamish Granite-Gneiss Dimension Stone Claim – Outright Sale Opportunity Proven High-Usability Metamorphic Stone – Premium Striped Aesthetic & Versatility
Location & Access Prime Squamish, BC in the Sea-to-Sky corridor—excellent road access: ~20 km from Highway 99 to Squamish Valley Road, then 6 km down established FSR. Recently active site with 36-ton end dumps operating. FSR subject to occasional flooding year-round; winter access variable (Dec–Mar shutdowns some years). ~1 hour 15 minutes from Vancouver—ideal for local/regional delivery.
Claim Details
Active mineral claim #1098135 (focused on dimension stone/construction).
Area: 20.79 hectares (one cell).
Good to: October 15, 2026.
Operational history: Veneer saw installed; produced veneer, veneer corners, flagstone, tile, retaining wall boulders, and décor. Permits inactive; annual work requirements not performed (restartable).
Material Highlights High-quality granite-gneiss (metamorphic from granite/basalt precursors)—fused under high temperature/pressure for beautiful striped banding and lines. Color variations: black to white, with many grays in between—pleasing and neutral. Very hard (excellent for cutting/polishing) but not ideal for splitting. Naturally irregular/shapely forms—many square-ish pieces for easy stacking/masonry; abundant hand-size material (3–5" bed depth, 4–20" diameter range) for manual drystack walls/traditional installation; 1'+ pieces sort well for excavator retaining walls. Lab-proven exceptional (2020 EXP Services):
Petrographic: "Good" (PN 102—suitable for high-exposure concrete classes C1/C2/F1, shotcrete, ballast per CSA).
Durability: Micro-Deval 7.7% (vs. 17% max); soundness 1.22% loss (vs. 12–18% max); LA abrasion 5.1–17.3% (far below 50%).
Density/Absorption: ~2.7–2.9 relative density, low absorption (<0.7%—superior weather resistance).
High usability ratio: ~70% usable (minimal waste compared to typical quarries).
Ideal Uses
Landscaping/masonry: Retaining wall boulders, drystack walls, uncut/split facing stone, pond liners (natural shapes/edges).
Dimension stone: Tile, veneer, flagstone, décor.
Aggregate/concrete: Coarse aggregate for high-rises/structural (exceeds CSA standards). Neutral grays/whites blend well in architecture/landscape design.
Inventory & Extraction
Estimated 224,000–286,000 metric tonnes (conservative: 882.44 m perimeter at 6 ft average depth; ~90% usable @ ~2.8 t/m³ density from tests; actual depth likely higher).
Low-capex: Existing FSR/saw access; active with heavy equipment; natural shapes reduce processing.
Market & Pricing Comparable BC granite/gneiss: Raw aggregate ~$30–$50/tonne; premium dimension/landscaping grade $100–$200+/tonne (e.g., Squamish-area suppliers). Past sales: $110/tonne to distributor (10–24" bulk in end dumps). Banding offers a unique "flavor" (striped patterns differentiate from plain granite). Strong existing demand from landscapers. Local sourcing advantage: Climatized for hot summers/cold winters—imported stone has potential to fail in Vancouver/Whistler conditions.

Valuation Opinion (January 28, 2026) This Squamish granite-gneiss claim is a proven, low-capex asset in BC's dimension stone/aggregate market. Metamorphic striped banding creates unique aesthetics (black-white-gray variations), while 2020 EXP tests confirm superior durability, good density, and "Good" quality for concrete/structural uses.
Realistic Fair Market Value (As-Is): $150,000 – $400,000 CAD
Lower end ($150k–$250k): Single-cell size, inactive permits (restartable), no recent tests. Comparable to BC gneiss/granite claims with aggregate potential.
Higher end ($250k–$400k+): Boosted by production history (veneer saw, proven output), high usability (~70% yield/low waste), premium natural shapes/cosmetics (banding adds visual interest), excellent access (recently active with heavy trucks), and strong landscaper demand (local/climate advantages save on imports). Ideal for buyers in landscaping, masonry, or concrete—potential significant long-term savings/efficiency.
Gross upside reflects extraction/marketing potential, but value centers on tests, production readiness, aesthetics, location, and low barriers. Active claim; speculative opinion based on your details/tests—not formal appraisal.
