I am unable to find much information on the National Historic Site. The only Parks Canada resource I can find is not very informative: https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=55
I found an 1878 record of a "New Gold Harbour Village" supposedly on the west side of Maude Island, which at that time was said to have been only their for a few years, and where people had moved to from the original Gold Harbour in Englefield Bay. The Parks Canada webpage says that the National Historic Site is actually called "New Gold Harbour Area", and it is at the site of Haina, a Haida village that is on the east side of Maude Island.
The location of the first European attempts at mining gold in Haida Gwaii were in Mitchell Inlet, not Tasu or Gwaii Haanas. This location was called Gold Harbour. I have corrected the article to the right location: https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/bcstudies/article/download/189369/186940/
This is a Haida village site, but I have not found a reference for any mining camp at this site.
