Opal Resources Canada Inc.

Canada's first "commercial grade" precious opal deposit, the Klinker Opal Deposit" was found near Vernon, BC on Thanksgiving Day in October 1991. The precious opal from this site was given the name "Okanagan Opal" by the prospectors who found the deposit.This deposit has already attracted significant local and international attention, and has been undergoing exploration and development since the summer of 1993.

The size and full economic potential of the deposit is as yet undetermined however the development which has taken place over the past four years has indicated that this is a significant discovery; not just a "flash of color." Let us guide you on a day trip to our opal property and show you how to find opals. Day trips are available Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June through September. Or, visit the Opal Miners Gift Shop, design your own jewellery or choose from one of several designs already created.
