Location: The Granite Basin gold district straddles the Butte-Plumas County line about 30 miles northwest of Oroville and 30 miles west southwest of Quincy. It includes the Buckeye, Gold Lake, Milsap Bar, Soapstone Hill, and Merrimac areas. The area was placer mined during and after the gold rush. There was some lode mining here in the 1930s, and there has been minor prospecting since.

Geology: Several granitic stocks are intrusive into slate, quartzite and limestone of the Calaveras Formation (Carboniferous to Permian) and amphibolite. Exfoliation has formed several round granitic domes, of which Bald Rock is the most prominent. Serpentine, soem Tertiary basalt and a few patches of Tertiary auriferous gravel are present. The quartz veins usually occur in the granite. The veins are narrow, but the ore bodies often rich. Pyrite and galena are abundant.
