Memphis Creek, British Columbia
Lead, Silver, Zinc
TThe property consists of 521 ha (1,288 acres), located between the communities of Slocan and Silverton, immediately east of Slocan Lake. The property includes 5 MINFILE occurrences described as polymetallic veins localized within granite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson Suite. The mineralized occurrences document high grade silver in association with lead and zinc. Limited gold was reported but with modern techniques identification of high tonnage, low grade mineralization is possible. In addition, a location adjacent to the regionally significant Slocan Lake Fault is interpreted to present an opportunity for identification of orogenic-type mineralization. Finally, the property is located along the southwestern edge of the informally designated Silver Slocan Mining Camp.
The property is located along the southern margin of a large intrusive body interpreted to be correlated to the Jurassic Kushanax Batholith (part of the Nelson Suite). The property was acquired for speculative intrusion-related Gold and/or polymetallic vein potential.
A limited, preliminary program was completed on the property, comprised of a collection of 176 soil and 65 silt samples over 5 soil lines and 4 silt lines. Anomalous values were documented, with maximum values as follows:
