Privateer Gold is a development-stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Canada. The primary focus of the company is the advancement of its high-grade narrow-vein gold in the Zeballos, British Columbia region, the heart of the 1930s Gold Rush in the Pacific Northwest.

Zeballos was the site of a major gold rush in the early 1930s that witnessed the rapid escalation of development to nine (9) significant mining operations at Zeballos’ peak production in 1940. Zeballos witnessed a forced reduction of mining activity thereafter due to the lack of miners caused by the war with a total cessation of all operations by 1944.
